"無"
​Yunjia's Guitar Art Showcase


​Nov 26, 2016, 7.30pm
Cecil Street Studio, Melbourne, Australia

​“
無” or “无” (simplified),  pronounced as “Wu” with rising tone (Wú), is a Chinese character with the meaning of “none, nothing”. In Chinese philosophy, everything is included in “無” and everything can be generated from “無”. 

The first half was four solo pieces, and the second half was a "game". Anyone who wanted to join the performance could bring their instruments, and put their names in the box at the door before the performance started. Yunjia started the second half with one commissioned piece, then drew one name from the box. The person came to perform and then drew another name, as it went on... The game finished until everyone performed. Then Yunjia played the final piece. :)
​
Special experience - a recital without wearing shoes!
​
​

Special thanks to:
​​

Composer You Yue (幽月) and Federico Favali for composing the three commissioned pieces;
Illustrator Icy Zhang (张妍冰) for designing the posters and illustrators for Mayfly and Flourishing Age;
Photographer and Videographer: Qinrui Wang and Lei Qi
Guest musicians (in alphabetical order): Brandon Lee (koto), Bridgitte Dias (violin), Daniel Arancibia (guitar), Ivan & Olivia Ljubicic (guitar), Jessop Maticevski Shumack (guitar), Lue Gai & Chris (tango), Nigel Tam (guitar), Paul Nash (guitar), Yu Liu & Kallet Zhong (guitar) for joining the performance;
Tonié, Noelle, Jessop, Bridgitte, and Yhizaira for the generous help!
​
