Event Details:

Founded in 2000, the ensemble is under the artistic guidance of renowned guzheng educator and performer, Professor Lin Ling from the China Conservatory of Music. The ensemble comprises master’s and doctoral students specializing in guzheng. The group has commissioned works from several distinguished composers and regularly invites various conductors for rehearsals.

In the deep autumn of 2000, the ensemble made its debut at the Beijing Concert Hall with a performance titled “In the Vast Flow of Nine Rivers—A Concert in Commemoration of Mr. Cao Zheng’s 80th Birthday.” The concert showcased innovative stage imagery through various forms of duets and ensembles, significantly expanding the vertical sound combinations of the guzheng, bringing the audience an unprecedented sense of warmth, richness, and artistic charm, earning high praise from the music community and fellow experts.

The artistic innovation and management model of Lin Ling’s Guzheng Ensemble have become a new perspective worthy of attention and in-depth research in the field of traditional instrumental performance, offering new angles and possibilities for the modern interpretation of traditional music.
