Yazhi
Guo, received his Artistic Diploma from Berklee College
of Music 2015, is widely known as "THE" best Suona
player in Asia. He graduated from Beijing Central Conservatory
of Music, and was invited to stay on as an instructor for
the next nine years.
The "Flexible Core" invented by him in 1993 was a great
contribution to Suona history. It solved the problem in Suona’s
playing of complicated modulations and temporary inflexions. It
allows Suona, a folk instrument, to play in large
modern orchestras, and greatly broadening the expressive
force of this instrument.
In 1998, he performed at the State Banquet welcoming President
Clinton’s visit to China. Started in 1999, he served as
the principal suona of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and became
the figured soloist. In April 2007, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra
presented him in a large scaled sold-out concert titled "Guo Yazhi’s
Wind Music World-Legend of Suona" at Hong Kong Cultural
Center Concert Hall.
In July 2012, the Orchestra presented him in another concert
titled "Guo Yazhi’s Wind Music World 2-Raising the Bridal Sedan
and Welcoming the Bride" . His talent and deep expression was
enthusiastically received with critical acclaim. Yazhi has appeared
many times on CCTV. His performances changed people’s attitude
towards the "folk" instrument Suona. He is a versatile and
charismatic player. Apart from the Suona, he can also play
saxophone, clarinet, piccolo, flute, pipe,
sheng, ocarina, cucurbit flute, and even ‘leaf’.
