Beating their own drums
Musician Li Biao will be on stage at the 2024 NCPA Percussion Festival. CHINA DAILY "I didn't expect the warm feedback from the audience since, for many people, percussion instruments can only be seen in orchestras, rather than being staged as a solo instrument," he says. Li immersed himself in Europe's rich musical history and culture, learning Western classical percussion instruments and modern music with jazz musicians and symphony orchestras. In 2003, he joined as faculty of the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin, and two years later, returned to Beijing to establish a percussion instruments' department at the Central Conservatory of Music and launched his band — Li Biao Percussion Band. CHINA DAILY On Oct 4, the Li Biao Percussion Band will stage a concert at the outdoor space of the Beijing Performing Arts Centre — a newly launched venue of the NCPA — featuring young Chinese percussionists led by Bai Weiqi, a student of Li, now teaching at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.
