who are the lanterns?
We are Flying Lanterns, a group of longtime friends based in the Netherlands brought together by our love for music. Our name was inspired by the Lantern Festival, when glowing lanterns drift into the night sky like melodies set free.
On stage, you’ll hear the voices of the erhu, pipa, guzheng, and dizi: each unique, yet weaving together as one. From traditional Chinese tunes to modern arrangements on ancient instruments, we invite you to join us for a journey filled with the spirit and charm of the East.
