Yang Jing (; born 1963) is a composer and pipa soloist. Her musical training started at the age of 6. At the age of 12 she went to the Henan Opera and Music School. Two years later she was accepted working at the opera ensemble of the Qu Opera Theatre in Xucheng, Henan. In 1986 she graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where she had undergone four years of training in pipa performance, composition, guqin performance and musical research with the focus on Chinese traditional music. Later she studied pipa with the old masters Lin Shicheng and Wang Fandi in Beijing. At the end of the 1990ies she studied composition with Minoru Miki in Tokyo with the support of the Japan International Artists Exchange Scholarship Fund. In 2015 she achieved her master's degree in composition and theory at the Bern University of Arts under Daniel Glaus. == Biography == From 1986, she worked for twelve years as the Pipa soloist at the China National Traditional Orchestra in Beijing. Since 1998 she started to cooperate with arts agencies as a soloist/composer, which allowed her to extend her musical activities internationally while still living in Beijing. Since the late 90ies, she started to search for different ways to develop her music. She founded or co-founded ensembles in Asia and in Europe to develop her own musical language and find her own identity: in a Chinese traditional instrumental quartet, with drums, with organ, e-guitar- and voices. She composed for cooperation of her instrument with jazz musicians, from duo-, to quintet-size and big band as well as for Chinese instruments with western classical choir, orchestras and chamber music ensembles. As a soloist she premiered many new works for pipa: concertos with orchestra, new western style operas that were written for her by composers from different cultural backgrounds. In 2002 she won the first prize at the «Festa» International Chamber-Ensemble Competition in Osaka, Japan, together with the Tokyo «Yui Ensemble». Since 1986, her compositions for Pipa such as 'Nine Jade Chains', 'Dance Along the Old Silk Road', 'Disclosure', and ‘Geyser’ not only won composition as well as performing prizes, but also were widely appreciated by listeners from different continents. 'Dance Along the Old Silk Road' was chosen as a compulsory piece for the 2004 China National Pipa Competition. Over the decades her widely performed solo concerts titled «Along the Old Silk Road», «Eastern Spirit» and «Yang Jing in Concert» journeyed through Asia, Europe, America and Africa. She was co-founder and music-director of different festivals: 2001-2005 Silk Road Festival (annual tours in Japan); 2006-2010 Hokuto International Music Festival (in Japan); 2013-14 Along the New Silk Road] (in Switzerland). She composes also for different orchestras and ensembles according to work commission's requirements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yang Jing (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
