Erhu Duo Performing on Podgorica Stage

Warm amber stage light illuminates two musicians holding traditional Chinese erhus against a backdrop of deep evening blue. Heavy black curtains frame the performers while faint stage haze lingers in the air, catching the glow of distant city lights beginning to shine through the venue windows. The musicians wear dark winter coats, their breath visible as faint wisps in the cold air of the Podgorica hall. Thick black audio cables snake across the floor, disappearing behind heavy drapes. The wooden bodies of the instruments reflect the warm spotlight, contrasting sharply with the cool twilight hues outside. A final beam of light catches the curve of a bow hair stretched tight against the strings.
