Charlotte Leung is an enthusiastic guzheng player who brings a heartfelt passion to every performance. With a deep-rooted love for the guzheng, Charlotte has spent years learning and exploring the rich musical traditions of this ancient Chinese instrument. The guzheng, also known as the Chinese zither, has a history that spans over 2,500 years. Originating during the Warring States period, the instrument has evolved from a simple five-stringed zither to the sophisticated 21-stringed instrument commonly seen today. Renowned for its ethereal and resonant sound, the guzheng has played a vital role in Chinese music, often associated with court music, folk traditions, and contemporary compositions. Its unique sound is created by plucking the strings with a combination of finger techniques and movable bridges, allowing for a wide range of expressive possibilities.
In this special performance, Charlotte will explore the instrument, share its history, and perform a range of compositions for our audience. Part education, part performance, this has all the makings of a beautiful evening.
