about
Ma Xiaohui (simplified Chinese: 马晓晖; traditional Chinese: 馬曉暉; pinyin: Mǎ Xiǎohuī) is an erhu player and composer from Shanghai, China. One of China’s few first-class traditional artists embracing an international career—beloved by audiences the world over—critics laud renowned Shanghai Erhu musician and composer Ma Xiaohui as “an artist who speaks with the world through Erhu” and “a musician who plays with heart.” Raised in an academic family and graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, she is a member of the United Nations Oriental Art Center and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). A guest professor at South west Jiaotong University (Chengdu), envoy of the Special Olympics and Cultural Ambassador to the 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai, she also serves as adviser to the Hong Kong Youth Music Association and the Ning Bo Folk Music Orchestra. Ma Xiaohui is perhaps most readily recognized for her duet with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma on the Oscar-winning soundtrack for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
