Xuefei Yang, Guitar Virtuoso - Gold Coast
Emerging from the twilight of China's Cultural Revolution, a period where Western musical instruments and music were banned, Xuefei Yang was the first guitarist ever admitted to a Chinese conservatoire. At ten, her debut recital won her a concert guitar from the Spanish Ambassador; at fourteen, Joaquín Rodrigo attended her Madrid concert, and John Williams gifted two of his own instruments to Beijing's Central Conservatoire for her studies. She has since captivated audiences in over fifty countries— including appearances at Carnegie Hall and the BBC Proms —and has collaborated with Ian Bostridge, Roberto Alagna, Sir James Galway, and major orchestras worldwide. Classic FM named her one of the 100 Top Classical Musicians of Our Time, and BBC Music Magazine ranks her among the Top Six Guitarists of the Century. From pioneering cross-cultural commissions to reimagining ancestral melodies, Xuefei Yang continues to expand the guitar's horizons with every note. Don't miss your chance to witness her in live in concert—an event that will linger in memory long after the final note.
