Bio
Anna Guo (Guo Min-qing), a former professor at the renowned Shanghai
Conservatory of Music, has been teaching and playing the yang-qin for
over 30 years. The release of her two solo albums -- Collection of
Yang-qin Solos (1992)and Masterpieces performed by Yang-qin Masters
(1995) -- established Guo as the leading yang-qin musician in China.
Her two books on the
art of playing the yang-gin -- New Yang-qin Music Compositions (1996) and
Basic Course on the Yang-qin (1998) -- are essential texts for students
of the instrument. Her CDs and books are available in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, where they are immensely
popular. From 1985 to 1996, Guo was head of the Shanghai Women's Silk
String Quintet, a successful Chinese music ensemble which gained a solid
reputation worldwide. The quintet recorded two albums and toured
extensively in Asia and Europe. In 1996, Guo immigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto, where she formed the
Dunhuang Chamber Ensemble, which performs traditional Chinese music
across North
America.
Her extraordinary
performances and profound interpretation and knowledge of Chinese music
have won Guo both critical and public acclaim as one of the world's best
yang-qin players.
