Celebrated for the soaring beauty of his Chinese bamboo flutes,
Guo Yue is an internationally renowned master. Bringing 15
different flutes, including one made from white jade, the haunting
poetry of his music, both delicate and powerful, speaks directly to
the heart. With striking visual images, the extraordinary story of
his childhood in Beijing unfolds - watch the video above to find
out more about him. Both personal and universal, the music paints
pictures of narrow alleys and grey-brick courtyards, dragonflies
and hand-made paper kites, the rhythms and sounds of daily life,
and the feelings of a child who loses his mother to the madness of
the Cultural Revolution, and who turns to nature to find meaning
and truth.
'The music has an epic quality... His remarkable story is
full of the tensions of paradox, which in turn fuels his musical
imagination' Folk Roots
