Two players playing
International online news (reporter time): On the evening of the 12th local time, Maria Pomyanowska, a well-known Polish instrumentalist, composer and doctoral supervisor, and her doctoral student, Chinese guzheng player Yu Mingjie, jointly presented a concert of traditional instruments that combine Chinese and Western styles to the Chinese and Polish audiences. By jointly performing Sino-Polish classics and newly created repertoire, the two artists showed the theme of active exploration by Chinese and Polish artists, using music as a medium to promote people-to-people ties between China and Poland.
Professor Maria Pomeyanovska
Professor Maria Pomeyanowska is a well-known Polish instrumentalist, composer, music educator, and proficient in traditional Chinese instruments such as erhu, guqin, pipa and so on. On that day, the repertoire of performances not only included Chinese and Polish classics such as "Spring River Flower Moon Night", "Flower Good Moon Full Moon" and Chopin's works, but also played works close to the times such as "Epidemic Variations" composed by Pomeyanovska. Pomyanovska said she named the concert," "Amber Silk," because these two objects are the most representative products of the two countries, and they create a bridge for exchanges between the two countries. "The idea of the name is because China is the birthplace of silk, while Poland is rich in amber," she said. In ancient times, Europe had the Amber Road from Poland, and the Silk Road from China to Europe was the world-famous trade route. The Amber Road and the Silk Road meet here, connecting China and Poland. I am very pleased that the different national instruments of China and Poland interpret chinese and Polish music. ”
Yu Mingjie in the performance
Yu Mingjie is from the Conservatory of Music of Hebei Normal University, is the leader of the "Tianyin Zheng Troupe" and many other zheng troupes, and her works such as the guzheng solo "Bronze Man Dance" and the guzheng quartet "Four Seasons Weiyang" are widely acclaimed. This time I came to Poland for further study, hoping to use the fusion and collision of guzheng and Polish national instruments to promote Sino-Polish national music exchanges. "This (Suka) is a Polish national instrument, and this (guzheng) is a Chinese national instrument," she said. The two national instruments may seem different, but in essence, the Polish instrument is a stringed instrument, a bowed string instrument, it is an elongated instrument. And we are a plucked, plucked instrument, which belongs to the dot instrument. The combination of these two instruments is the best way to play ensembles. ”
As part of the Chinese New Year cultural activities, the two performers have already performed on the Internet, attracting many Polish music lovers. Sun Linjiang, Chinese ambassador to Poland, also sent a message for the "Amber Silk" concert, saying that music is a special bond that brings the feelings of the two peoples closer and plays an indispensable lubricating role in the people-to-people exchanges between the two countries. Ambassador Sun thanked the two performers for using national musical instruments as pulp to sail the ship of Sino-Polish friendship to all parts of Poland, sow the seeds of mutual understanding and appreciation, and build a bridge of in-depth exchanges, mutual learning and mutual learning.
The repertoire of the day has already shown the blessings of the two performers for the Chinese New Year. Professor Maria Pomiyanovska expressed her deep wishes to the Chinese after the performance.
