The Golden Dragon Acrobats’ presentation is a break from the rest of the Strings Music Festival calendar, as one of the only performances involving dance.
The chair act is one of Golden Dragon’s more challenging routines. Here, an acrobat balances carefully atop several chairs stacked on a small table.
The acrobat tradition goes back more than 2,000 years, when performances were reserved for the emperor.
Members of the Golden Dragon Acrobats train for years to accomplish routines such as this one, which requires balancing several plates from each hand. The troupe closes the Strings Music Festival summer season with a show at 7 p.m. today.
Band members, from left, are Lisa Barbour, standing in for John Kessler, Joe King, Tom Wood and Carol Ives.
