This is my instrument. This is my music. | Chuan Qin | TEDxUCR

In this unearthly musical performance, erhu master, Chuan Qin plays some traditional and not-so-traditional Chinese music. With her command of the instrument, beautiful music echoes from the Erhu in this jaw dropping and funny performance. Chuan Qin revitalizes a traditional instrument to bridge the cultures of the East and West.

Chuan Qin, holding the dual masters of Management and Finance, is the member of Chinese Musicians Association. Currently, she is the first-chair erhu as well as the soloist of Houston Chinese Traditional Music Group (http://www.hctmg.org/) and also the founder of Eastern Echo music group (www.easternechomusic.com). Started learning erhu at the age of seven, Chuan obtained the certificate of grade-ten of erhu from Chinese Musicians Association when she was thirteen years old. Since then, she gained many awards of province-wide and nation-wide competitions.
