This series of selected scores are from our beloved classical concert program «Singing Strings» YANG Jing Music for Pipa with String Quartet. Book 5. Stringed instruments form the backbone of the western classical symphony orchestra. The Eastern string instrument Pipa has developed into a leading solo instrument as early as the Tang dynasty (618 - 709) in the East. In this set of classical concert programs, all pieces maintain the original and natural acoustic sound source of unplugged string instruments. It enables the encounter of different acoustic properties, different expressions of sound and sound aesthetics that have developed over time in different regions. This Program let old & new string instruments offer us an unforgettable musical experience _ from the fresh energy of the morning to the poetry of the sunset - from a silk bamboo tea house to a passionate dance in the desert of the wild west - from the search for one's own identity to the singing of swinging hearts - from pearls falling on to a jade plate to the gallop of black horses... Each piece opens up a new perspective.

About the Author Composer Yang Jing is also an internationally renowned pipa soloist. Rooted in the millennia-old tradition of Chinese music, she builds on a vast amalgam of musical history. The result is sometimes musical poetry, sometimes powerful unheard-of sounds. YANG Jing's technical and musical inventions on the pipa bear witness to her constant expansion of the world of harmony. She was born on the south bank of the Yellow River in December 1963. She began her musical training at the age of 6, playing the pipa, sometimes called the Chinese Lute. From 1976, at the age of 12, she began her journey through various schools and performance ensembles: Henan Opera Music School, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, China National Orchestra, Asia Ensemble (Tokyo), Master's Courses in Composition with Minoru Miki, Master's in Contemporary Composition and Theory at the Hochschule der Kunst Bern, Swiss Jazz Quintet, 4tet Different Song. She has also worked with many orchestras, groups of outstanding musicians, and her colleagues in various ensembles. She writes music for western symphony orchestras, choirs, and ensembles as well as music for formations with traditional Chinese instruments. Her works have been performed in music festivals and concert tours in Europe, China, Japan, the USA, and Canada. She based her home in central Switzerland.
