鈥楻omance De Amor鈥 strikes a classical chord
Print Edition
Classical guitarist Yang Xuefei is presenting a guitar recital entitled 鈥淩omance De Amor鈥 at Shanghai Oriental Art Center on December 10.
Born in 1977, the Beijing native enjoys an international career that has taken her to some of the world鈥檚 most renowned concert halls. She has performed with leading artists such as Sir James Galway, Ian Bostridge, Rosalind Plowright, Sumi Jo, Heath Quartet and the Elias String Quartet.
At the Shanghai concert, Yang is going to present a series of Eastern and Western classics.
She has adapted the Chinese household works 鈥淎 Moonlit Night on the Spring River鈥 and 鈥淪ilver Clouds Chasing the Moon,鈥 as well as folk music 鈥淐amel Bells on Silk Road鈥 and the dance music of Yao ethnic minority, by adding her own interpretation with the help of classical guitar techniques.
鈥淕uitar is a salon instrument. Its intimacy matches with Chinese music that emphasize on artistic conception,鈥 said Yang.
Other programs featured in the concert include Claude Debussy鈥檚 鈥淭he Girl with the Flaxen Hair,鈥 Manuel de Falla鈥檚 鈥淗omenaje pour le tombeau de Debussy鈥 and 鈥淢iller鈥檚 Dance.鈥
Yang fell in love with guitar at the age of seven. She was the first guitarist to graduate from a Chinese musical school 鈥 Central Conservatory of Music 鈥 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree.
Yang is a fan of renowned guitarist John Williams, and got a chance to perform for him during his China tour in 1995. Williams was so impressed that he gifted two of his own instruments to Yang鈥檚 school.
She carried on with her music study at London鈥檚 Royal Academy of Music, during which she was awarded the much sought-after Principal鈥檚 Prize.
