Discover the fascinating beauty of the morinkhuur, the traditional horse-head fiddle, in the hands of Uuriintuya Khalivan, a young virtuoso from Inner Mongolia. Born into an ancient tradition, Uurintuya received her first instrument at the age of 12, a gift from her poet father.
With her subtle playing of harmonics, the morinkhuur evokes the wild nature: the breath of the wind, the gallop of horses, the vastness of the steppe, and the whisper of spirits, with each note weaving a deep connection between humans and their environment.
Let yourself be transported by the breath of this millennial music, where tradition and emotion become one. An unforgettable evening to connect with the vast Mongolian landscapes.
