In the Murakami House, Natalie Der the former concertmaster of the Richmond Delta Youth Symphony Orchestra, will play the violin just as Asayo Murakami once played the violin she carefully brought from Japan in 1929. Dressed in a winter kimono, Vancouver musician Noriko Kobayashi will draw upon her repertoire of folk music to play the tsugaru shamisen. Upstairs in the Chinese Bunkhouse where up to 100 men once slept in tiny triple bunkbeds, renowned teacher Zong Cai Yang will play the two stringed erhu – an instrument with over 4,000 years of tradition in China.
