Intro: Anwei Musician / Guzheng Soloist Anwei holds degrees from the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music, and is a Gold Award winner of the International Guzheng Competition. She excels at revitalizing the contemporary energy of the Guzheng through the vocabularies of jazz and pop. Her signature "Chinese Improvisation" style seeks an instant, authentic dialogue between sound and soul. At the University of Iowa Asian Culture Festival, she led the world premiere of a film score alongside a renowned string quartet, conveying the warm, inclusive, and healing inner energy of the Guzheng through cross-cultural sonic tapestry. Luxi Independent Artist/Architect Graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Historic Preservation, Luxi brings a rich background in art institutions and curatorial practices. Nurtured by Albert Camus's philosophy of the absurd, Hermann Hesse's spiritual exploration, and Henri Matisse's vibrant colors, she extends her architectural structural rigor into miniature modeling, Buddhist painting, and handcrafting. Within micro-spaces and expressive color, she captures the subtle traces of time and the soulful warmth of handmaking.
