Two melodic worlds at the fingertips

by
Could a pair of skillful hands reshape two ancient and quite diverse musical traditions? Those who have heard Yang Xuefei’s swift plucking will answer this question with a loud yes. Acclaimed as one of the world’s finest classical guitarists, the musical pioneer will delight Macao audiences with a string of interpretations she beautifully crafted to build a bridge between Chinese and European music.
 
Teaming up with erhu virtuosa Lu Yiwen and young pipa sensation Sun Ying, Xuefei will enchant the audience with a thread of delicate tones, harmonizing colours and sounds. From Chinese folk tunes to modern and Latin compositions, this soulful journey takes us from the Han dynasty to the modern age.  As well as anticipated familiar pieces like excerpts from The Butterfly Lovers, Silver Clouds Chasing the Moon to Three Variations on Plum Blossom, patrons will also be treated to an earthy gusto of flamenco-inspired music, including works by Paco Peña and Juan Martín.
 
Having been invited to play with the world’s leading orchestras in over 50 countries across most continents, Xuefei’s international acclaim came to light at numerous prestigious venues and festivals, from BBC Proms, to the Vienna Concert Hall and the Lincoln Centre in New York. On her return to Macao, where her guitar has delighted in previous concerts, music lovers should expect nothing less than another evening of flawless technique and exciting musicality. So, concert goers, get ready to be soothed with refreshing interpretations through the hands of a true guitar genius!
