蘭韻中樂團成立于1997年,二胡、箏、打擊樂的樂器組合,以古典與現代結合,曲目豐富多樣並不斷創新,跨越中國傳統及現代風格、包含結合西洋作曲法及東方藝術思維的原創樂曲,並嘗試世界音樂、爵士樂及即興演奏。溫哥華The Georgia Straight 週報曾形容蘭韻中樂團是"世界音樂的百花中,綻放得最明麗的奇葩之一"。

This autobiographical piece was written by Lady Cai of the late Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). Lady Cai was captured by the Huns in northwest China and forced to marry the Hun king. After 12 years of marriage and bearing two children to the king, the Han negotiated for her release. Although overjoyed with the news that she could finally go home, she was also deeply troubled with the knowledge that she would have to leave her children behind.
The Orchid Ensemble has recorded this piece on its JUNO nominated CD - Road to Kashgar. www.orchidensemble.com
