Composer, Producer, Publisher
and
Concert Artist
“Music
should spark our
passion, awaken our hope,
refresh our feelings, and
enlighten our heart.”
--- by Gong-Qian Yang,
a Chinese American composer, soloist and
concert violinist
who has been unanimously acclaimed by the
audience, colleagues, and publicities for his
superb
artistry
as well as his outstanding music talents.
As the first prize winner twice of Starling International
Scholarship Foundation U.S., Yang has been
winning
standing ovation
in his solo
concerts including solo
performance in Aspen music festival. While
enjoying
a successful career as soloist and concert
artist,
Yang has always kept a keen interest in music
composition.
He studied a wide range of repertoire and huge
diversity of music. He has been working
diligently
on the combination of the very best from eastern
and
western music. Yang’s music is now reaching far
and broad both in the U.S. and internationally.
In his opinion, it is best to let music emotion
flow and
unfold freely without excess
structural
restrain. He believes
that
music can reach and touch humans' heart. Yang
refers
some of his music as twenty-first century
classic.
He
has often been inspired by the harmony between
all
creatures of the universe. Yang says his music
is a
gift and inspiration from the nature.
In the Symphonic Poem
Nature and Me,
Yang has shared
the feeling of harmony and intimacy between
nature and
all of the creatures in the grand universe
through the
dialogues between the solo flute, solo French
horn, harp,
and strings.
The unfolding music is the process of constant
development and resolution, like unfolding real
life.
The whole piece radiates infinite life energy
that glorifies
the beauty of the great universe, and, of
course, the beauty
of humans living within. In his music, as an
important part
of orchestral
sonority for richer and more flexible music
expression Yang added a vocal part in Nature
and Me Symphonic Poem.
