China Institute Centennial Celebration: Guzheng Tianxia Concert

As part of the China Institute’s Centennial Celebration, join us for a special evening honoring the beauty, history, and global resonance of Chinese music through the artistry of the guzheng. This unique concert brings together two distinguished masters in a rare shared performance. 

• Renowned Hong Kong artist Xu Lingzi presents innovative interpretations rooted in tradition.  
• Master Gao Baijian from Guangdong, China, brings to life the expressive regional Chaozhou style of the Lingnan tradition. 
• Yuan Sha is widely recognized as a representative figure of contemporary Chinese guzheng art and a cultural ambassador for Chinese traditional music. 

The program will be announced from the stage by US-based scholar and educator Mei Han, whose work bridges cultures and promotes cross-cultural exchange.
