In this segment, our guests were David Badagnani, Director of the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble, and Cleveland Native Jarrelle Barton. He plays the guzheng, an ancient Chinese zither.
Here are the questions Tiffany had for Jarrelle & David:
- Jarrelle: How did you get interested in the Chinese guzheng? (pronounced GOO-jung)
- Jarrelle: How did you learn to play it?
- Jarrelle: How many instruments do you have?
- David: Tell me about your musical group, the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble.
- David: Can you tell me about the events you've got planned for Jarrelle while he is in the Cleveland area?
- David: Is Jarrelle going to perform together with your ensemble while he is here?
- Jarrelle: What are your plans for the future?
