Wuji Ensemble

“Innovation” and “a strong stylistic identity” are the credo of Wuji Ensemble. Founded in 2003, the group has been dedicated to creating a performing platform for local musicians, cultivating cultural insights and nurturing artistic accomplishments to systematically enable its members to gain recognition in the community and be cultural role models for other young people. The Ensemble is made up of eight members who are either current students or graduates of tertiary institutions, all highly skilled and experienced performers of the Chinese plucked-string instruments of the ruan and the pipa and sharing a love for music and culture. Young, dynamic, refreshing in their approach to music, knowledgeable in the arts and enterprising in their vision, these musicians not only aspire to become cultural icons but have also shown that as they move easily between the East-West cultures and create what is tangibly contemporary, they have made Wuji Ensemble an exponent of contemporary artistic styles representative of the lively, engagingly flexible spirit of its home base of Hong Kong.
