Luo Xiao-Ci is a solo Guzheng performer of Shanghai National Music Ensemble, the
member of Shanghai Musicians Association and the managing director of Guzheng
Special Committee of Shanghai Musicians Association. She began to learn Zheng at
the age of 7 and passed the entrance examination to affiliated middle school of
Shanghai Conservatory of Music at 13. At the same year, she won the second prize of
the juvenile professional group in ART International Competition of Chinese
Instruments. Later she gained admission to National Music major of Shanghai
Conservatory of Music without taking the entrance examination. During the next ten
years, she had studied after zheng educators and performers such as Ms. Guo Xue-
Jun, Mr. He Bao-Quan and Ms. Sun Wen-Yan successively. She had also been
instructed by Zheng masters such as Zhao Man-Qin and Wang Zhong-Shan in that
period.
Luo Xia-Ci began her life as a professional performer after she graduated from the
university and became a member of National Music Ensemble. In 1997, she was
invited to attend the “17th Spring of Shanghai – Symphony Assemble of Shanghai and
Taipei.” Her performance of Zheng concerto Lin’an Eternal Regret won special
concern and favorable comments. In 1998 and 1999, her performance of Linchong
Flee at Night and Emperor of West Chu achieved success. In 2000, her concert
“Zheng –Music-Poem –Luyou and Tangwan” was debuted. It gave a wholly new idea
to the field of national music with the combination of different art forms such as zheng
performance, on-the-spot calligraphy, symphony chorus and poems recitation. In
November 2000, she was invited to perform concerto Butterfly Lovers at the opening
ceremony of the second Shanghai International Music Art Festival. In 2001, she
successfully held “Spring of Shanghai International Music Festival – Luo Xiao-Ci Solo
Concert & Painting and Calligraphy Show”. She had made performance tours in
countries such as Japan, Italy, Ukraine, Germany, and many more.
While concentrating on Guzheng performance, Luo Xiao-Ci also shows interest in
Chinese painting and calligraphy, national vocal music, opera and guqin, which
involves her elegant performing style and art pursuit of expressing profound meaning
in simple form. Luo Xiao-Ci is a young performer with noble manners and deep
cultural accumulation in Chinese National Music Field.
