Music Talks
The harp has an elegant form and a spiritual tone, leading many to assume that female harpists must be delicate, quiet, and graceful, almost like ethereal goddesses. In this episode, harpist Yany Tse breaks this stereotype with her cheerful personality. Just like other young people, she participates in online discussions, enjoys eating tofu and roast pork rice at food stalls, and appreciates the simple side of life. She will perform several songs on the harp, including film scores from Harry Potter and Frozen.
Yany Tse is a local harpist who holds a Bachelor's degree (majoring in harp) and a Performance Diploma (majoring in guzheng, with a minor in harp) from the School of Music of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Over the years, she has won numerous awards worldwide. In 2017, she won the third place in the Concours International de Harpes, a world harp competition in France, becoming the first Chinese to achieve this honor.
