Guzheng is a Chinese traditional instrument with origins traced to Chinese Warring State period (475-213 BC) for a history of 2500 years. Its gorgeous sounds, coupled with the aesthetics of music shaped by Chinese culture, induce a wonderful state of tranquility in the listeners.
Melody Yan's Fusion Music is an incorporation of Western music with Chinese traditional musical instruments such as Guzheng. Melody seeks to expand her music beyond the traditional conformity, collaborates talented artists from different steps of life, and together create the kind of musical expression that makes life worth living.
I hope everyone who comes across her profile will book her. She plays beautifully and I was captivated right away. However, I had no idea that she would go above and beyond what is required. She offered to re-arrange the site as needed read and was easy to deal with, supportive, and a delight to plan with. I surprised my girlfriend and because of the lovely event I planned we got engaged! Thank you!

Looking forward to working with Melody on future events.
I wanted to do a pre-Chinese New Year celebration at our office since CNY officially starts this Saturday. Hoping we could celebrate at work. I arranged Dim Sum for lunch and was able to Hire Melody Yan to perform. She was amazing. Showed up prompt to set up her equipment. Her personality was so sincere and very sweet. It was the best lunch at work since we had Melody playing traditional melodic music, and some uptempo covers & jazzy songs. I highly recommend hiring Melody for any event. Will be keeping in touch for future events. Thank you so much Melody Yan!

Hot food, cold drinks, and non-stop music were the attractions. Sisi and her esteemed peers never felt so welcomed and appreciated. It came without surprise the performances were re-broadcasted for the next several days via local TV stations
