Carving a New Career With Erhu
Xiao Feng Zhang, one of the most talented erhu players in the country today, is ever ready to break the norm. A former member of the prestigious National Traditional Orchestra of China, the bright-eyed Chinese musician has performed all over the world with China’s greatest musicians, as well as the Jumping Buddha Ensemble, the latest Chinese world music band to come out of San Francisco.
“My goal is to develop new music, to play with musicians from other countries,” Zhang, 39, says during an interview at her apartment in Petaluma, Calif., last week. “Erhu is very beautiful music. Chinese music has a settled form. Now I want to break some rules ... to develop more interesting new sounds, not just Chinese sounds.”
