The musical projects of the Ensemble are based on the theme of Dunhuang murals: our resident composers use their imagination and interpretation of the ancient culture and mural art to create new pieces of music. The murals are rich in cultural and artistic elements, covering a wide range of themes, including Chinese traditional culture, history, art, Buddhism, design, jewelry and costume, architecture, etc. They preach kindness through depictions of Buddhisttales and classic mantras.
