Details

Description

Cao Yanli is a young guzheng performer, recipient of the Wenhua Award, and a master's student in guzheng with a full scholarship at the Xinghai Conservatory of Music. She currently serves as a lecturer at the Guangdong Arts and Culture Vocational College, Vice Chairman of the Guzheng Professional Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Academy of Fine Arts, and an examiner for the Guangdong Musicians Association's Social Art Level Examination.

The guzheng is not only skilled at expressing beautiful and lyrical melodies but also capable of conveying majestic and powerful compositions. Its exquisite sound quality varies, sometimes resonating with an ancient and deep tone, sometimes clear and serene, sometimes broad and grand, stirring the heart and soul, and at times delicate and soothing, refreshing the spirit. The guzheng album "Cantonese Classics" is aptly named as it collects classic Cantonese pieces performed by the young guzheng virtuoso Cao Yanli. In Cao Yanli's performance, there is grandeur concealed within the subtleties and strength hidden behind the grace. Music transcends language and borders, and the same melody can evoke different emotional resonances in different listeners. For example, a song like "Qian Qian Que Ge" might be heard as "Qian Qian Que Ge" by some, while others might perceive it as "Song of the Setting Sun" or "The Song of the Evening Sun." Perhaps this is the additional charm that music brings. Listening to the lingering sound of the guzheng, it can evoke feelings of parting sorrow or joy, and all of these emotions transform into a tender sentiment that lingers.
