Gao Can Concert Violinist
Time Out Beijing's Sunday Salons are some of the most well-done regular events Beijing has to offer. Always on Sunday evenings around 7:30PM, they host incredibly talented Classical musicians to come to The Bookworm and play extracts from their music in an intimate setting, followed by an opportunity to discuss their inspirations behind the music together with their audience.
"This is a unique opportunity to listen to the great musicians from China and ask them questions directly about their incredible talents." - Nancy Pellegrini, Time Out BJ & SH's Classical & Performance Editor
This Sunday, Time Out is welcoming back Gao Can, who is arguably China's most respected and fastest-rising young concert violin soloist.
"He is a very experienced and versatile young violinist, with remarkable technique and impeccable musical taste." – Lang Lang, Pianist
Incredibly accomplished at such a young age, he has already won awards at the Michael Hill and Alberto Curci international competitions and appeared with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, recorded film soundtracks and collaborated with Lang Lang and Yuja Wang, among others. Gao Can is now a professor at Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music and he is the founder of Beijing New Music Ensemble.
This Sunday, he will be playing music by Belgian composer/musician and 'King of Violin' Eugène-Auguste Ysaye (1858-1931), who besides being the stuff of legend, is known as the world's first modern violinist.
