American composer Niccolo Athens

American composer Niccolo Athens takes inspiration from "The Book of Odes," the earliest collection of Chinese poetry dating back some 3,000 years, to create western classical music. Not only a professional composer, he is also a keen globetrotter. In the music special "CGTN The Stage," Athens brings a string quartet piece inspired by an ancient Chinese folk song and shares with us his stories of turning Chinese literary classics into symphonies.
