Programme Note

  

Water is an element you can’t block. You can block land, you can say this is China and this is Russia, but water has no such frontiers.

What I want to present… is music that is for listening to in a visual way, and watching in an audio way. I want it to be intoxicating. And I hope some people will listen and rediscover life's elements, things that are around us but we don’t notice.

—Tan Dun

Water Concerto was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic.
