紐約琴社2022年二月六日古琴雅集演奏藝術家簡介 (按演出順序排列)
1, Sarah Chen 陳麗如 Chen Li-ru. My literary name is Rúyī, also known as Fúyìn Zhānbǔ. I am currently Secretary General of the Chinese Guqin Association, and an assistant teacher of guqin at Taipei Qin Hall. I also am a teaching associate at Master Yuan Jung-ping’s studio, the XiXuan Dawn-Bright Calligraphy Studio. I have been studying calligraphy and guqin with Master Jung-ping Yuan, and have devoted myself to collaborating with him in carrying on the twin arts of calligraphy and guqin. Master Yuan selected my studio name, the Rúyī Hall. Currently I live in Danshui, Taiwan, and I concentrate on the practice of calligraphy and qin to cultivate and promote good health and long life.
[NB. Taipei Qin Hall, and the XiXuan Dawn-Bright Studio were founded by Yuan Jung-ping.

6, Andrea Lioy. I was born and raised in Italy. I started working for a theater company in my teens. My dream was to become a playwright, so I was working odd jobs backstage during the day and writing at night. At some point, a producer liked one of my plays and staged it. It was successful enough for me to be commissioned to write three more. I moved to London in the mid-1990s to pursue further education, getting as far as an MA in Communication Design and an MA in Japanese Cultural Studies. In the academic year 2005-6, I began teaching writing to visual artists and formed a Creative Writing Workshop that is still running today.
I started studying Guqin in mid-2019 — almost three years into it. I can tell you it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life among many bad ones. Next step: learn to make Guqins.
Other relevant data: I love cinnamon donuts. Whoever buys me a cinnamon donut has my heart forever. I occasionally collaborate with a university in China. You can find some notes about my work here: http://www.dlpu.edu.cn/detail/22/8e8cc3633f8e9d4025b776ef221ee13a.html
Andrea Lioy 我在意大利出生和長大. 十幾歲時, 我開始為一家劇院公司工作。在後台打零工，但我的夢想是成為一名劇作家。所以我白天工作，晚上寫作。在某個時候，一位製片人喜歡我寫的東西並上演了我的一個劇本。它算是夠成功, 我得以繼續生產了第二本、第三本和第四本。我在 1990 年代中期搬到倫敦繼續深造，並獲得了傳播學碩士學位和日本文化研究碩士學位。我在 2005-6 學年開始向視覺藝術家教授寫作，並創建了一個至今仍在運行的創意寫作研討會。我在 2019 年 中開始學習古琴. 目前已進入第三年. 這是我一生中做出的許多糟糕決定中最好的決定。下一步：學習製作古琴。另外我喜歡肉桂甜甜圈。誰若給我買了一個肉桂甜甜圈，將會擄獲我的心。我偶爾會與中國的一所大學合作。你可以在此網站找到一些關於我的工作的筆記http://www.dlpu.edu.cn/detail/22/8e8cc3633f8e9d4025b776ef221ee13a.html

14, Jane Huang. I was born in China, but my family moved to Taiwan when I was one year old. Taiwan offered me a sound education and a happy childhood, for which I am very grateful. After graduating from college, I came to the United States to attend graduate school. I had planned on getting a business degree, but the language barrier kept me from reaching that goal. I changed my major to mathematics and received a MS degree in Statistics. Throughout my career, I worked closely with mainframe computers, and retired in 2004.
My interests include birding, photography, and traveling. I play a little piano. No longer classical, only pop music.My mother left me a Guqin. The shield of tuning pegs was cracked. I contacted Taiwan Guqin Association for information with regard to a restoration. Mr. Cheng Hui-de came highly recommended. Mr. Cheng would restore the Guqin for me only if I learned to play it. It took Mr. Cheng five weeks using the period method and material to restore the instrument to its original glory. No words can express my gratitude to him.
I had started out taking some group lessons from 王菲 in Fremont, CA. In the summer of 2018, at a music school in San Francisco ChinaTown, I learned that Alan Yip offered Guqin lessons. Thanks to Alan’s infinite patience, I am still hanging around and having fun.
王世增 – 我出生在中國大陸，在我一歲時全家搬到了台灣。台灣給了我良好的教育和快樂的童年，我很感激。大學畢業後，我來到美國讀研究生。我曾計劃獲得商業學位，但語言障礙使我無法實現這一目標。我將專業改為數學，並獲得了統計學碩士學位。在我的整個職業生涯中，主要針對大型電腦主機，並於 2004 年退休。
我的興趣包括觀鳥、攝影和旅行。我會彈一點鋼琴。媽媽留給我一把古琴。護枕裂開了。我聯繫了台灣古琴協會以獲取有關修復的信息。協會推薦了程惠德老師，程老師建議只要我學會了古琴，他就會給我修復。程惠德老師用了五個星期的時間，用周期的方法和材料，把琴恢復到了原來的光彩。任何言語都無法表達我對他的感激之情。
我開始在加利福尼亞州弗里蒙特的王菲那裡學習一些小組的古琴課程。 2018年夏天，在舊金山唐人街的一所音樂學校，我得知葉沛霖老師教授古琴。多虧了沛霖無限的耐心，我仍然在玩琴玩得很開心。
15, Susannah Miller. I am currently a paralegal in Seattle, and I have degrees in linguistics and philosophy. I began playing cello and piano as a young child, which seemed like it would be quite useful when learning to play qin. However, although it trained my ear and sense of rhythm, it also trained me to play everything with a Western classical interpretation—playing guqin has been both a learning and an un-learning experience! I have been studying qin with Alan Yip since 2020.
我目前是西雅圖的一名律師助理，擁有語言學和哲學學位。我從小就開始彈大提琴和鋼琴，這似乎對學琴很有用。然而，雖然它訓練了我的耳朵和節奏感，但它也訓練了我用西方古典的詮釋來演奏任何東西——彈古琴既是一種學習，也是一種非學習的體驗！自 2020 年以來，我一直在跟葉沛霖學琴。
16, Alan Yip grew up in Southern California where he studied erhu under acclaimed maestro, He Wangbao. With two decades of erhu performance experience, Alan Yip has actively delved into many regional and contemporary styles of playing, ranging from solo instrumental, orchestral, ensemble, to traditional Cantonese music and Cantonese opera.
Intrigued by its sound and history, Alan Yip began his studies of guqin as a pupil of famed pipa and guqin virtuoso, Lui Puiyuen. Eager to broaden his technique and aesthetics on guqin, he has since studied under leading masters as Gong Yi, Wu Ziying, Chen Changlin, and Dai Xiaolian. He has been invited to numerous concerts in such countries as the USA, China, and Malaysia, and is an active promoter of Chinese music in the U.S. and abroad. Besides Chinese classical music, he has studied Chinese court-style painting under the tutelage of Puxian Aisin-Gioro – cousin of the last emperor of China, Puyi. Alan holds a Master’s degree in Horticulture and Agronomy from the University of California, Davis.
Alan is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area and is musical instruments consultant to @fineguqins.
葉沛霖， 加州大學戴維斯分校園藝學、農學碩士。在南加州成長的葉沛霖，師從二胡演奏名家何王保先生學習二胡，師從琵琶和古琴大師呂培原先生學習古琴，在二胡及古琴方面皆有很深的造詣。葉沛霖經歷接近二十數年不斷的練習和演出，在傳統及現代二胡領域中，涉獵範圍廣及獨奏、齊奏、合奏音樂及廣東音樂、廣東大戲。
古琴幽美的音色及悠久的歷史深深地吸引了葉沛霖。隨呂培原先生學習古琴後，更隨諸古琴名家龔一先生、吳自英先生、陳長林先生、戴曉蓮先生等習藝，以提升古琴的技藝。葉沛霖的音樂素養深獲音樂界讚譽，並應邀赴美國、中國、馬來西亞等地演出。尤其難得的是葉沛霖在中國典雅的音樂基礎上，追隨溥儀堂弟溥仙先生學習中國宮廷繪畫，亦頗有成績。
17, John Thompson, former President of the New York Qin Society, began in 1974 to study qin in Taiwan from Sun Yü-Ch’in, then while living in Hong Kong from 1976 to 2001 began reconstructing old melodies from Ming dynasty handbooks, in particular Shen Qi Mi Pu (1425) and Xilutang Qintong (1525). He moved to New York in 2001, returned to Asia (Mumbai and Singapore) from 2009 to 2013, then came back to New York in 2013, all the time continuing his project of qin performance and research. His website, www.silkqin.com, with over 150 recordings of his reconstructions from Ming dynasty scores plus a wealth of related information about the qin, focuses on “historically informed qin performance” (requiring use of silk strings and accurate descriptions of historical details), and is arguably the richest resource for information on the qin on the Internet.
唐世璋先生, 前任紐約琴社社長, 於1974年在台灣開始學琴於孫毓芹先生. 1976 年至2001年 住在香港期間, 他打出很多明代的琴譜. 特別著重於【神奇祕譜】及【西麓堂琴統】. 2001年移居至紐約, 2009 至 2013旅居印度孟買. 2013 回到紐約後他繼續從事琴學的研究. 他的網站 www.silkqin.com 有超過150 首他的明代琴曲打譜錄音. 再加上豐富的琴相關資料，重點是“史料琴演奏”（要求使用絲弦和準確描述歷史細節），可以說是網上最豐富的古琴信息資源。
