‘This recital programme is very personal for me as I have Oriental music in my blood and Latin music in my heart’ explains Xuefei Yang. ‘We think of the world as connected, but Asia and South America are antipodes separated by the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, with no direct commercial routes between them. This concert bridges the geography with music.’

‘Truth, fantasy, boldness and delicacy…Xuefei Yang’s playing can best be compared to the spontaneity and control of a master calligrapher’ Gramophone
