He studied in the College of Tokyo University of Arts, the highest institution of art in Japan, and obtained a master's degree. After traveling in Japan, I'm glad to meet Mr. Tokuji Obuchi, a famous Japanese composer and President of the association of Japanese composers and composers. In his concert, he was specially appointed as a permanent soloist and traveled to Japan and around the world. In 1997, he established his unshakable position as a world-class performer by performing with the New York modern orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York.
Life experience
juvenile
Jia Pengfang was born in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province. In 1966, when the Cultural Revolution began, he got an erhu when he was eight years old. Jiamusi, a small northern city near the border of the Soviet Union, which took 30 hours by train from Beijing, was also inevitably affected by the storm of the cultural revolution. In fact, the erhu he got was also due to his participation in the "Mao Zedong thought propaganda team". When he was 16 years old, he went to Beijing to learn art with the help of his friends. At that time, China could not change its Hukou at will, and people from rural areas could not live in cities. When she was 16 to 18 years old, Jia Pengfang made a one meter square enclosure on her aunt's balcony without food ration, aiming at becoming a professional performer and practicing every day. Finally, with his strength, he can play instead of the teacher from time to time. However, on the day of the entrance examination of Haizheng song and dance troupe, the Tangshan earthquake broke out, and the examination was suspended, so we had to give up joining the troupe. Six months later, because of the Cultural Revolution policy, he had to go back to Jiamusi to work as a farmer. After the cultural revolution, he received a letter. It turned out that his former teacher gave him the advice to go to the music university. Just when he went to Beijing again to break through the difficulty of 1 out of 500, an examiner, concertmaster of China Central National Orchestra, urged him to join the group. Considering that he could get a hukou in Beijing and the guarantee of his life, he agreed to participate in the orchestra activities as a professional performer.
1988 - turning point of life
Jia Pengfang, who has been appointed as the deputy chief of the orchestra, insists on performing activities in order to explore the folk music and artistic enlightenment destroyed by the cultural revolution. In order to pursue new artistic possibilities, he came to Japan with a suitcase and an erhu. when he was looking for a job as a performer while doing all kinds of short jobs, he had a turn for the better - he met Kejiu, the musician's clothing department. Convinced by Jia Pengfang's talent and erhu's timbre, Fu Kejiu boldly used Jia Pengfang in his album production and concert activities, opening up Jia Pengfang's music world. At that time, the wish to enter the College of Tokyo University of the arts also came true.
1997: a new artistic life
His ensemble with the orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York established his unshakable position as an erhu player. in addition, the attempt and high quality of the integration of Western musical instruments and Chinese national musical instruments in river river, the first work of peace month brand in June 1998, has been highly appraised at home and abroad, and the sales have also been successful. in 1999, rainbow, an album that further promoted this concept, was more successful than the previous one. In the following days, Jia Pengfang successively released many albums and selected albums, such as faraway remote, shoxiang, Roman romance, erhu erhu, moonlight, etc. in the month of peace, which further promoted erhu, a traditional Chinese musical instrument, to the whole world.

Pacific moon records (Chapter one)
River
Album introduction
This one belongs to
The month of peace
The highlight of river is erhu, a traditional stringed instrument in China. many musical instruments are played by rubbing the bow against the instrument, such as "batokin" in Mongolia, "hegum" in Korean Peninsula, and many other unique musical instruments in Asia. It is said that these instruments were first played to imitate human sounds. If this is the case, erhu is the perfect instrument that can best reflect the Asian melody in all the sound quality of the Asian continent. From the lowest tone to the highest tone, these tones spread widely and use magic in the listener's mind. Imagine the vast sky with light red background, the green fields of the Asian continent, and people living a peaceful life surrounded by rich natural scenery. As for Europe, can we say that the violin is the representative of stringed instruments there? of the songs included in this album, only the sixth and ninth are pure Chinese classical music, namely "as milling moon" and "moonlight night", and the rest are original works specially created for this album. Although the music is full of Western harmony and instrumental music (such as piano and guitar), the sound of Erhu still keeps the gentle and slightly sad tone of the East, which also shows the great openness of pastoral life in the Asian continent.

Jia Pengfang
Rainbow is one of the most popular erhu albums in China. No matter the melody, the arrangement and the sense of wholeness, all of them are the best choice. the repertoire has its own characteristics, but it always maintains a subtle sense of unity, which makes the whole album complete at one go. The first track of the album is the same as the famous song "Rainbow", which is unprecedented in other songs. No matter how many times I listen to it, the deep feeling of my heart has never been reduced by half.

Faraway
Album introduction
Jia Pengfang
Faraway is one of my favorite erhu albums. Jia Pengfang's erhu music is clear and full of trills. He is famous for his superb erhu skills and popular composition style. As one of the most successful musicians studying abroad, Zhang Yu
The month of peace
He re released a large number of Chinese folk music elements, such as "Er Qing Yuan" and "Er Qing Yuan" in his works. some Internet comments said that "some chapters in the album are inadequate, and the modern elements in some places are a little too heavy, which conceals the charm of Erhu and makes the music lack the taste of subjectivity.". But I think this is the place where newage inevitably needs to make bold innovations. Music has been sublimated by the times, and erhu has been "transformed" by Jia Pengfang. in some places, we may feel Mr. Jia Pengfang's nostalgia and attachment to his motherland. It's easy to see from the name of the music that it's very meaningful
