Welcome to the World of Erhu with Qin Qian

“A bridge of culture through strings; a spirit of youth through music.”

Hello! I am Qin Qian.
Originally from Guangxi, China, I have called the vibrant city of Philadelphia home for over 20 years. The Erhu—a millennium-old instrument often called the “Chinese violin”—is more than just my career; it is my soulmate for connecting with the world and expressing the deepest emotions.

Musical Exploration Beyond Borders
My professional journey has been a series of cross-cultural discoveries. I am honored to collaborate with world-class musicians, blending the soulful, singing voice of the Erhu into genres like Jazz, Pop, and Classical music. On every stage, I strive to redefine the charm of the Erhu for modern audiences, breathing new life into this ancient tradition.

Growth Through Teaching and Learning
As a music educator, I have been honored with multiple “Outstanding Teacher Awards.” However, my greatest sense of achievement comes from my students. Connecting Across Generations: My students range from 5-year-old children to 95-year-old seniors. In teaching them, I have gained endless wisdom and inspiration from their diverse life experiences. Witnessing Success: Watching my students grow from absolute beginners to performers on prestigious stages like Carnegie Hall is the fuel that keeps me moving forward.

My Heartfelt Wish
Music is a lifelong journey of the soul. I often say: “Live and learn; with music in your heart, you will never grow old!” My most beautiful wish is that when I reach the age of 95, I will still be holding my Erhu, standing on stage, and performing for you.

Join the Musical Journey
Whether you are looking to learn the Erhu, Ruan (Chinese Banjo), Monochord, or Piano, or wish to book a performance or lecture-demonstration, I warmly welcome you.Let’s embark on this musical life together, and let the strings of the Erhu warm every season of our lives.

欢迎来到覃茜的二胡世界
“以琴为桥，沟通文化；以心载乐，永葆芳华。”

您好！我是覃茜 (Qin Qian)。
我来自中国广西，在费城这座充满艺术气息的城市已经生活了20多年。二胡，这把有着千年历史的“中国小提琴”，不仅是我的事业，更是我连接世界、表达情感的灵魂伴侣。

跨越国界的音乐探索
我的职业生涯充满了跨界的惊喜。我很荣幸能与来自全球的优秀音乐家们合作，将二胡那如泣如诉、如歌如吟的琴声，融入到爵士乐、流行乐和古典音乐等多种风格中。在舞台上，我致力于为现代观众重新诠释二胡的独特魅力，让这项传统艺术在当代焕发新生。

桃李芬芳，教研相长
作为一名音乐教师，我曾多次荣获“杰出教师奖”。但我心中最大的成就感，来自于我的学生。
跨越年龄的联结： 我的学生从5岁的孩童到95岁的长者。在教琴的过程中，我也从他们不同的人生阅历中汲取了无尽的智慧和力量。
见证成长： 看着学生们从零基础到登上卡内基音乐厅等大舞台，那份喜悦是我不断前行的动力。

我的心愿
音乐是一场永无止境的修行。我常说：“活到老，学到老，心有音乐永远不老！”
我最美好的心愿，是当我也到95岁高龄时，依然能够怀抱二胡，站在舞台上为您演奏。

加入我们的音乐旅程
无论您是想学习二胡、阮、独弦琴或钢琴，还是希望邀请我参与演出与讲座，我都热忱欢迎。
让我们一起开启音乐人生，让琴声温暖每一个春夏秋冬！
