The scene of the concert of "Yu Bing Ai"
Born into a musical family, Yu Bing learned to play the piano at the age of six, graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and is now a pipa player in the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra. Luo Xiaoci, director of the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra, called Yu Bing a "piano idiot", a "top master who loves pipa to the bone".
The concert begins with the traditional song "Flying Flowers". In the piano song "Don't Forget the Lovesickness", the pipa and the female voice talk. "Today is the Time of Your and My Parting" integrates opera elements to interpret the affection of the overlord Bieji. The jazz-style "That is the way she loves" is haunting. "One Step Away" and "Chardas" are two famous songs, mixed and matched with violin and electroacoustic bands, full of novelty.
In addition to acting, he also creates his own. The concerts of "Ice and Fire" and "Cow" are Yu Bing's own works, inspired by his style experience, through the depiction of people and animals, people and nature, conveying love. At the end of the performance, the theme song "Love" was performed by all the participating artists on the same stage.
Yu Bing said: "Chinese music should not only be presented on a flat stage, limited to one person, a chair, a white lamp, and a few simple songs, but should integrate vision, story and music into one." ”
In recent years, Yu Bing has played the pipa in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Guanajuato, Mexico, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Aichi Prefecture in Japan. In 2017, his musical theater "Bawang" was selected for the "Supporting Young Artists Program" of the 19th China Shanghai International Arts Festival, and was invited to perform in New York, USA and Hong Kong, China. He condensed Several of Xiang Yu's life nodes into the 60-minute "Overlord": the first time he sheathed and killed, met Yu Ji for the first time, dangerously entered the Hongmen Feast, was ambushed by ten sides, said goodbye to Yu Ji, and killed himself in Wujiang... Instead of listening to a piece of music, the audience listens to a life story with a context.
Yu Bing said: "The future development direction of Guole is very large, and there is too much space to excavate. We can perform ancient songs from thousands of years ago, we can also perform very contemporary songs, we can also integrate with Western musical elements, and we can integrate with Oriental elements of clothing, furniture, ink painting, calligraphy, tea culture... It is all-encompassing and can have many faces. ”
