Yang is acclaimed as one of the world’s finest classical guitarists. Hailed as a musical pioneer, her fascinating journey began after the Cultural Revolution, a period where Western musical instruments and music were banned. Fei was the first-ever guitarist in China to enter a music school and became the first internationally recognized Chinese guitarist on the world stage.

Fei is one of the few guitarists whose artistry connects with audiences far beyond the guitar fraternity. Her international success has led her to be invited to play in more than 50 countries at numerous prestigious venues and is frequently invited to play with the world’s leading orchestras, and collaborate with artists such as Ian Bostridge, Roberto Alagna and Sir James Galway.

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. Fei’s recent recordings include “Songs from our Ancestors” which continues her successful collaboration with Ian Bostridge and several solo albums; “Summertime”,  “Winter Songs” (Apple Music), “Sketches of China” (Decca) and “Magna Carta”, the complete guitar works of John Brunning with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (Apple Music)and most recently “X Culture” in which composers explore musical inspirations from other cultures, reflecting Fei’s own cross culture journey.

Prior to the main event stop by Grand Hall to hear the MkeCGS orchestra performance. The performance will take place at 7:15 pm and will set a perfect mood for the evening, leading up to the highly anticipated performance by Chinese virtuoso Xuefei Yang.
