Mindy Meng Wang is transforming the way the world hears the guzheng, a traditional Chinese zither with over 2,500 years of history. As one of Australia’s most accomplished composers and musicians, she is blending the ancient sounds of the guzheng with modern music genres, creating a fresh and captivating experience for listeners worldwide.
“Many people outside of China have never heard of the guzheng,” Mindy says. “I want to change that by introducing its beautiful sound to new audiences and integrating it into contemporary music.”
Born in China and now based in Australia, Mindy is dedicated to bridging cultures through music. She collaborates with artists across different genres, from electronic to classical, pushing the boundaries of what the guzheng can do.
“Music is a universal language,” she explains. “By blending traditional instruments with modern music, we can connect people from different cultures and backgrounds.”
Through her innovative approach, Mindy is not only preserving the heritage of the guzheng but also giving it new life in the global music scene.
