What's more appropriate than enjoying Chinese music to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important traditional festivals? Shenzhen Concert Hall has curated an intimate chamber concert for Sunday, ahead of the festival next Tuesday.

Jiang Motong

Pipa player Jiang Motong, pianist Yu Boyang and percussionist Chen Shijie will collaborate to bring a show that features both Chinese pieces such as “Ten Faces,” “The Murmur of Pipa” by Lin Hai, pop songs like “Fly Me to the Moon,” as well as rearranged classical pieces such as Saint-Sa?ns’ elegant “The Swan” and two movements from Piazzolla’s “History of Tango.”

Originally named Jiang Yan, Jiang Motong is a member of the modern Chinese music ensemble Zizai Quartet and a guest performer with the Aerospace National Music Chamber Orchestra. A pupil of late pipa master Li Guanghua at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, Jiang won a gold medal at the 2014 WCOPA in Los Angeles. She has collaborated with many prestigious orchestras such as China Philharmonic Orchestra and China National Symphony Orchestra, and frequented international music festivals as a featured soloist.

Yu, admitted into the Central Conservatory of Music’s middle school at 12, has won numerous awards, including the gold medal at the Hailun Cup Oriental Youth Piano Competition and second prize in the Cadanza Cup National Youth Chinese Works Competition. He was recommended to study at the Central Conservatory of Music without taking exams in 2011, studying under Professor Du Taihang. He has since won multiple accolades, including prizes at the Academy Cup Piano Competition and the Yamaha Asian Music Scholarship. He has also performed at the Allegro Vivo Music Festival in Vienna and the Stars of Tomorrow Music Festival in Paris.
