Chinese Thread
A Parley
with the Pipa
O
n 27 November, students from
the Central Conservatory of Mu-
sic took the audience on a soulful
journey across centuries in a Pipa
concert. Music from a Pipa bears
the richness of not only ancient
China, but also that of other ancient cultures
that it originally comes from. Trained under the
renowned professor of Chinese folk music, Hao
Yifan, her protégés presented a feast of centuries
of melodies and traditions as they played clas-
sical Pipa pieces from different ancient Chinese
dynasties. Keystone’s very own Music teacher and
Prof. Hao’s student, Yang Xue also joined in the
concert.
