"One of the most original outfits working in the world music arena today" - National Geographic
A Moving Sound is an award-winning ensemble based in Taiwan. Their highly driven creativity fuses traditional influences with a global sensibility. The ensemble presents distinctive timbres of the erhu (Taiwanese fiddle) and zhongruan (lute) coupled with the transcendent vocals of singer Mia Hsieh - a whirlwind of musical expression that veers between the meditative and the exuberant with irrepressible spirit.
The group sings in multiple languages, plays both modern and traditional instruments and performs in stylized ethnic costume. Their story began in New York while singer and frontwoman Mia Hsieh (cover) was on a Fulbright scholarship in New York, immersing herself in downtown experimental music and dance. There, while on the dance floor one evening, she met her future husband and now performing partner of over twenty years, Scott Prairie.
