What happens when a Mongolian born Punk rocker in Beijing looks to rediscover his traditional cultural identity in modern China?  You get Hanggai. Join us for special night in Beijing as Hanggai takes the stage in an opening season concert by young musicians from Beijing and the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia presenting their interpretations of traditional songs. The word ‘hanggai' is ancient Mongolian, describing an idealized grassland landscape of mountains, trees, rivers and blue skies. Hanggai "distills everything powerful about Mongolian folk music and makes something new from the ingredients...transcendently powerful music that anyone from anywhere can understand." (Pitchfork)
