An Yue

Gehu virtuoso of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, An Yue joined HKCO in 2009. He graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music with a Master’s degree in Cello Performance, studying under Professor Chen Jiuhe, a distinguished cellist and educator. He also studied guqin under Professor Li Xiangting, an inheritor of the national Intangible Cultural Heritage of guqin art in China. During his studies, he received multiple honours including the Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship and the People’s Scholarship in China. He was invited to perform at national and professional arts and cultural events such as the ‘Shanghai Spring’ International Music Festival and the China Master of Arts Forum.

In 2018, An Yue travelled to the United States for a guqin performance and cultural exchange event with the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, receiving wide acclaim. He has also appeared in the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra’s major performances, including ‘Universe in a Flower - 5G 4K Live Streamed Concert’ and ‘The Sound of Water - Wuhan Qintai Concert’. He participated in a special interview for The Roots of China, a broadcast programme of the Greater Bay Area Voice on China National Radio.

His performance tours have taken him across Greater China as well as to the United States, Germany, Belgium, Singapore, and Japan. Guided by an artistic philosophy of ‘fusion of Eastern and Western arts’, An Yue integrates the technical precision and structural aesthetics of Western classical cello with the poetic spirit and contemplative aesthetics of the Eastern guqin, crafting a distinctive artistic expression that embodies both traditions. He is a contemporary musician whose artistry bridges cultures and redefines modern expressions of classical heritage.
