Xuefei Yang

Her fascinating journey began after the Cultural Revolution, a
period where Western musical instruments and music were banned in China. Fei
was the first-ever guitarist in China to enter a music school and became the
first recognised Chinese guitarist on the world stage.
Her artistry connects with audiences far beyond the guitar fraternity and she
has performed in more than 50 countries at prestigious venues. She is
frequently invited to play with the world’s leading orchestras, and collaborate
with artists such as Ian Bostridge, Roberto Alagna, Sir
James Galway and Harriet Mackenzie.
Gramophone magazine praised her as one of the leading innovators of her
generation for continuing to build the guitar repertoire. Fei has made many
acclaimed recordings for major labels. Her first received a gold disc and her
second was selected as Editor’s Choice in Gramophone magazine.
