Charlotte Leung
Guzheng Performer

Charlotte Leung is an enthusiastic guzheng player who brings a heartfelt passion to every performance. With a deep-rooted love for the guzheng, Charlotte has spent years learning and exploring the rich musical traditions of this ancient Chinese instrument.
The guzheng, also known as the Chinese zither, has a history that spans over 2,500 years. Originating during the Warring States period, the instrument has evolved from a simple five-stringed zither to the sophisticated 21-stringed instrument commonly seen today. Renowned for its ethereal and resonant sound, the guzheng has played a vital role in Chinese music, often associated with court music, folk traditions, and contemporary compositions. Its unique sound is created by plucking the strings with a combination of finger techniques and movable bridges, allowing for a wide range of expressive possibilities.
Born and raised in Southeast China, Charlotte began studying the guzheng from a very young age. Under the guidance of guzheng musician杨始德, she developed a profound understanding of both the technical and expressive aspects of the instrument. Charlotte's dedication and skill were recognized when she obtained the Grade 10 certification (previously Performance Certificate) from the Xinghai Conservatory of Music. Charlotte's performances are characterized by intricate melodies, dynamic rhythms, and a soulful connection to the music.
Although Charlotte is an amateur, she has performed at numerous venues and events, including TEDxUNB, earning accolades for her skill and artistry. These experiences have allowed her to share her love for the guzheng with a wider audience and continue to grow as a musician.
Beyond performing, Charlotte is passionate about promoting the art of guzheng and sharing its rich history with others. She enjoys participating in workshops and music groups, aiming to inspire and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Through her efforts, Charlotte hopes to bring greater awareness and appreciation of this beautiful instrument to a wider audience.
In her upcoming performance, Charlotte will present a repertoire that showcases the rich traditions and modern adaptations of guzheng music. Audiences can expect a journey through time and sound, with pieces that reflect both the historical legacy and contemporary evolution of the guzheng.
