from KGNU Music Hosted by KGNU Music
Renowned classical guitarist Xuefei Yang spoke with KGNU’s Sanford Baran ahead of her Colorado Music Festival debut on July 27, where she will perform Rodrigo’s Concerto de Aranjuez with the festival orchestra. Xuefei reflected on her deep personal connection to the piece, which she first played for the composer himself as a teenager in Madrid. She also discussed her new album, Chapeau Satie, which reimagines the works of Erik Satie for solo guitar, blending classical and cabaret influences. Xuefei spoke about bridging Eastern and Western traditions through music, her journey as a cultural ambassador, and her growing interest in composition and jazz-inspired pieces. Her upcoming performance in Boulder promises to be a moving highlight of this year’s festival.
