Top Violinists Of Modern String Playing - Bowfire Videos

On May 12th, 2008 I attended Bowfire's show at the Majestic Theater, in San Antonio, Texas. I can easily declare this event as one of the 3 best concert experiences of my life. ("The Beatles" and "Yes" are the other two.) See the videos and judge for yourself!

In terms of sheer virtuosity contained in one and the same band - Bowfire takes the first prize! Made up of leading violinists and fiddlers in each genre of modern string playing, Bowfire presents an electrifying performance of various styles - in music, singing, and dancing.

This is a must-see show and for those of you who cannot see Bowfire live, this lens will provide the next-best thing - a Bowfire video showcase! Turn up the volume and make some leg room for your feet!

Bowfire "Galloping Horses" 

Bowfire George Gao Erhu Galloping Horses - must see!

A must see clip from the violin show "Bowfire". An awesome tune featuring the erhu, a type of two string Chinese violin. See www.bowfire.com and www.georgegao.com I never heard of Gao or the erhu before seeing Bowfire. I was blown away and this song became an instant all-time favorite. I love his movements around the stage and how all the musicians sway together in the background around 2:22. Enjoy!
