Yang Enhua talks about his musical journey, from picking up the classical Chinese instrument to his innovative rehearsal process
Yang Enhua recently made a name for himself in August when he placed as a top 10 finalist in the sixth annual Danny Awards playing the erhu – a two-stringed bowed instrument used in traditional Chinese music.
Hosted by the US-based Daniel’s Music Foundation, the Danny Awards is a global music competition that celebrates musicians with disabilities. Yang, a visually impaired musician originally from Harbin, in China’s Heilongjiang province, will travel to New York to perform alongside the other finalists on October 25.
The 28-year-old is currently studying for his bachelor’s degree in music at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) with a focus on the erhu. On September 20, he took the stage at Youth Square, in Hong Kong’s Chai Wan neighbourhood, where he performed the piece that earned him a spot among the Danny Awards finalists.
