China鈥檚 Philomela to woo home audience
Print Edition
The 鈥淧hilomela of China鈥 Yunus Dilber is presenting a concert at Shanghai Oriental Art Center on May 29, demonstrating both Western opera and Chinese art songs.
Dilber is a lyric soprano with coloratura techinique. Born in Kashgar, in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, she enrolled in the Department of Vocal Music and Opera at Beijing鈥檚 Central Conservatory of Music. After finishing her master鈥檚 degree at the conservatory, she joined the roster of the Finnish National Opera company, later adding a position with Sweden鈥檚 Malmo Opera.
She is now a Finnish citizen and professor of the Central Conservatory of Music.
Having won recognition on international stages, Dilber hopes to perform in front of her home country audiences more often.
鈥淐oming to this age, my growing experience and all the collections in life can help in my singing,鈥 said the 62-year-old.
鈥淭ime and experience can erase the anxiety I used to have. Now I鈥檓 fully confident in handling details, and that鈥檚 what the finest art is about.鈥
Dilber has been praised for restraint in her use of ornamentation and for vocal balance.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 like showing off skills,鈥 she said. 鈥淥ne needs to be thoughtful when using skills. Loyalty to the original work is the priority while skills are decoration. Otherwise, the skills will ruin the work.鈥
The first half of her Shanghai concert will feature Western programs, including Jean Sibelius鈥 鈥淔inlandia,鈥 Franz Schubert鈥檚 鈥淎ve Maria鈥 and 鈥淪eligkeit.鈥 In the second half, Dilber will lead audiences into a musical world of Chinese poetry.
