Nicholas Ng is an ethnomusicologist here in Sydney, specialising in traditional Chinese instruments like the erhu. With a growing acceptance and interest for music from other cultures, it's an exciting time for Nicholas' field of work. Why should you be interested in ethnomusicology, and how can you get the most out of a niche? We sit down with Nick to talk about the driving forces behind this blossoming field of music.

Our feature track is 'Evening Tears' by Nicholas Ng and Kim Cunio
