Tarim, Uygur Song and Dance Ensemble to bring music of Western
China to LCCC
The melodies and rhythms of Western China will come alive
when Tarim, Uygur Song and Dance Ensemble performs at Lorain
County Community College.
The ensemble will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m., Saturday,
March 24, 2012 at Stocker Arts Center. The performance is part

Tarim,
Uygur Song and Dance Ensemble
perform the ancient songs of the Silk Road, the melodies of the
Uygurs, the Kazaks, the Kirkiz; the rhythms of the Hui, the
Uzbek and Tatars. The sounds transport listeners to the spice

contrast, scale and history. Tarim is a unique ensemble of
musicians and dancers from the Cultural Bureau of Xinjiang Uygur
Autonomous Region.
