Garden Concert
Erhuist Xiao Dong Wei & Pianist Yuki Mack

Japanese-born pianist Yuki Mack has dazzled audiences on three continents. Her performances include a broad range of piano works, from chamber to orchestral music. In addition to collaborations with Xiao, she performs as a soloist and in piano duos with her sister Tomoko. Beyond the main-stage, she has performed live on the radio in Sweden, Italy, Poland and the United States. In 2006, Yuki and Tomoko were selected as Steinway Artists, joining an impressive roster of world-renown pianists.

Chinese-born erhu master Xiao Dong Wei creates spirited and engaging musical bridges spanning thousands of miles—from Beijing to her Detroit area home. Xiao Dong’s father began teaching her to play when she was five, and at age 11 her studies took her to the prestigious Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. There she also learned to play the guzheng (a zither-like instrument), the guitar-like pipa, the erhu (a Chinese two-stringed violin), and classical piano. She has live in the U.S. since 2005, and has performed with orchestras around the country. A 2012 Kresge Artist Fellow, Xiao has performed internationally as soloist, with chamber ensembles and orchestras— including the Detroit Symphony Orchestra — playing Chinese and Western classical music, world music and more.
