{lang en} Plays Pipa

Miss Zhuxi (Jodie) Wang, was born in 1987 in Beijing, China. Her earliest interest in the instrument pipa was inspired at age 7 by a Chinese ancient poetry describing the elegant and meditative sound of pipa. Since the age of 14, she has toured Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau as a soloist or the principle performer with multiple orchestras to spread Chinese music throughout the world. In 2005, she was accepted into the Folk Orchestra of China’s most prestigious university, Peking University, as the only pipa player winning the stringent auditions in that year competing with hundreds of participants from across the country. She has been the principal pipa of the Folk Orchestra of Peking University ever since, until she graduated in 2009. Her solo melody “Story: inspired by the Tang Dynasty Poem Pipa” was included in the studio album, Hou Tu, released by the Folk Orchestra of Peking University as the only selected solo piece. Before moving to the United States in 2009, she has performed in many diplomatic occasions for foreign political leaders, royal family members, as well as top-notch scholars visiting China from all over the world. She has won numerous awards in both national and international music competitions throughout her early musical career. Her talent was also showcased in music series on China’s most popular TV channels (e.g., CCTV, BJTV, etc.) and in television shows. {/lang}

{lang zh}自從2011年2月加入休斯頓中華民樂團，王竹夕以獨奏、重奏、合奏等多種形式參加了美南地區的各類演出活動，包括2011《竹韻弦歌》夏季室內樂民族音樂會，2012新春民族音樂會，合唱《紅樓夢》組曲音樂會，《東方印象》文藝晚會，紀念辛亥革命一百週年大型綜藝晚會等。她的音樂風格清雅婉約，玲瓏脫俗，尤以情感細膩，富藝術感染力見長。在她舞動的手指下，彈跳出清澈空靈的音符，洋溢著青春的活力又充滿古老而美麗的憂傷。 Houston CultureMap 著名樂評人Joel Luks評論她的音樂時寫道：“從像精緻瓷器一樣的輕靈剔透轉變為對情感陰暗面更為熱烈的展現- 憤懣、悲痛、嘆息- 琵琶這件古老的樂器在其文化內涵外，被賦予了更深層次的共鳴”。除了積極投身於音樂事業的發展外，王竹夕同時正就讀於休斯頓大學工業組織心理學系攻讀博士學位。

Zhuxi Wang is a member of China Nationalities Orchestra Society (CNOS), and serves on the board of professional association of pipa virtuosos affiliated under CNOS. She is currently the principal Pipa of Houston Chinese Traditional Music Orchestra. Since joining the group as one of the youngest artists in 2011, she has appeared extensively in the Houston area as a promising pipa performer with a career spans solo, chamber and orchestral appearances. Her music is notable for its inspiring lyricism and emotional contagiousness. Houston CulturalMap commented Zhuxi Wang’s playing as “from porcelain-like clarity to passionate displays of darker emotions – anger, sorrow and grief – the pipa was given a voice that transcended its cultural context”. While dedicatedly devoted to her music career, she is also currently in pursuit of her doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Industrial and Organizational Psychology at the University of Houston.
