The 7th Yaji of 2023

Pre-London Guqin Conference presentations by members

Time: Sunday, July 23 2023 15:00 EST

Location: Zoom Meeting

Sunday at 3 pm EST marks the 7th yaji of this year. Because of certain unforeseen situations, Prof, Shuishan Yu’s presentation will be rescheduled for a future date. The yaji program was adjusted to feature Pre-London Conference presentations by four members: André Ribeiro, Juni Yeung, Peiyou Chang, and Stephen Dydo.

This offered a great opportunity for the four members to have a “trial run” and for members who cannot attend the official London Conference.

Program

  1. André RIBEIRO: “How Qin arrived in Brazil: Qin Transmission and Cultural Reception” (50 minutes)
  2. Juni L. YEUNG: “A Case for the Nine-stringed Qin: Reviving a Possible Lost Subaltern Tradition and New Arguments for a Heptatonic Diatonic Tuning Adaptation” (40 minutes)
  3. Peiyou CHANG: “The Nature of Guqin Rhythm” (45 minutes)
  4. Stephen DYDO: “Contemporary Guqin Composition and Performance” (35 minutes)
