Music is one of the most dynamic mediums to express human emotions and reflections to place in traditional Chinese culture. Flowing Water brings cultural knowledge and musical insights to the audience by presenting traditional masterpieces of two Chinese musical instruments. Dr. Haiqiong Deng, a virtuoso performer on the 21-string Chinese guzheng, 7-string guqin, and two plucked zithers with a 2500-year-old history throughout Asia, will bring cultural knowledge and musical insights to the audience by presenting traditional and modern masterpieces of these Chinese instruments. Dr. Deng is a Florida Folklife Master Artist and the recipient of the prestigious Florida Cultural Heritage Award. In the last two decades, Dr. Deng has been active in promoting traditional and new music. She has performed and lectured in various venues, including universities, museums, folk festivals, and communities introducing traditional Chinese music and culture. She has also premiered and recorded dozens of new compositions at national and international contemporary music festivals and conferences by composers from several countries. Dr. Deng has taught at Florida State University, University of South Florida, and Tallahassee Community College.
