FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2015 17
Come see internationally renowned pipa player Wan Yeung
perform for us on Saturday, Aug. 15 from 5 to 6 pm in the
Lodge Ballroom.
What is a pipa you might ask? A pipa, which some people
call a Chinese lute, is a plucking instrument (like a guitar) that
dates back to the Han Dynasty around 200 BC. It is capable of
producing a wide variety of sounds and is used to play both
Eastern and Western music.
Wan began playing the pipa while living in Hong Kong
when he was 12 years old. He was Hong Kong champion of
Student Chinese Instrumentalists in 2006 and Student Pipa
Soloists in 2007. He won the gold medal at the 2010 Chinese
Instrument International Competition, U.S.A.
Come join us for an evening of international music
sponsored by the Classical Music Club. ~ John Horning
