She has been called one of the “best guitarists in the world” and has been hailed for her “feisty virtuosity, impeccable technique and sensitive musicianship.” Guitarist Xuefei Yang is definitely a talent to watch – and you’ll have a special chance to hear her live Friday at 11 a.m. on Classical 101.
A native of Beijing, Yang comes to Columbus to perform a solo recital Saturday at 8 p.m. in Capital University’s Huntington Recital Hall. The concert will feature works by Albeniz, Schubert, Bach, Granados, Chen Yi and others, as well as some of Yang’s own arrangements, and is presented by the Columbus Guitar Society.
Friday morning on Classical 101 Yang will give us a preview of her upcoming Columbus concert and talk about life as one of the world’s premiere classical musicians.
As an appetizer, here’s Yang performing Roland Dyens’ Tango en skai:
