Born in China, I began studying the yangqin (Chinese dulcimer) at the age of six under the tutelage of Professor Yongkang Gan at the Wuhan Conservatory of Music. I am a member of both the Hubei Musicians Association and the China Nationalities Orchestra Society, and have served as an examiner for the yangqin grade examinations organized by the Hubei Musicians Association. In Canada, I served as an adjudicator for the OMFA Provincial Music Festival and Beckettfest, where I also presented masterclasses for participating musicians.
As a performer, I have frequently appeared as a soloist across Europe, North America, and Asia, and have presented masterclasses in China. I was also honored to represent the Wuhan University–Université Paris Diderot cultural exchange program as the featured yangqin soloist in Paris, France.
In addition to performing, I have held leadership roles with several prominent Chinese orchestras. I served as President of the Wuhan University Chinese Orchestra (2005), a large ensemble of over 40 musicians; the Waterloo Chinese Orchestra (2014) and the Grand River Chinese Orchestra (2019), both mid-sized community ensembles; and, most recently, I have been collaborating with cellists to explore innovative and cross-cultural repertoire.
