The Secret Songs of Women Tickets

You've Got a Guy presents The Secret Songs of Women, a seminal Tan Dun multimedia work inspired by Nu Shu, the secret syllabic script created by women in Hunan. This program blends harp, orchestra, and film to tell stories of resilience and sisterhood. Featuring harpist Xavier de Maistre and a 42-minute film presentation, the piece weaves music with 13 microfilms to illuminate a hidden history that resonates across cultures.

It’s a must-experience for lovers of contemporary classical theatre and immersive music.
