Imagine the surprise I experienced when one of my associates with show title-sponsor Beijing AmBridge International Culture Development, Ltd., contacted me in Honolulu with news of my next guest -who just happened to be across the Ala Wai Canal in Waikiki!
Hey, it's a small world, right?
On the January 13 broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim you'll meet Ms. Gao Hong. She is a world-renowned Chinese pipa soloist, composer, educator and cultural ambassador in her own right.
Our next Conversations segment will be coming to you from the world-famous Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki -just steps from the warm, tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Gao Hong performs traditional and modern Chinese music. She also participates in cross-cultural collaborations. A graduate of the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, she studied with the renowned pipa master Lin Shicheng of the Pudong School of pipa playing. Since 1994 she has been a resident of Northfield, Minnesota where she is on the music faculty and teaches at Carleton College, and is the director of the Carleton Music Ensemble.
