Concert Performances

For me, one of the most rewarding parts about performing - and why I love doing it so much - is that it's an opportunity to bring culture, peace and joy to an audience. This motivates me to work hard, engaging with the crowd every time and aiming to provide them with a very memorable experience.

A sample of my performances can be viewed here:

Thank you for your wonderful and heart-warming performance. I have received messages praising the recital by you and Pej.

The performance was marvelous and truly world-class! Our music hall was packed and we had people coming from Nashville, Clarksville and Knoxville.

I was very impressed with Professor Zhang’s voice and performance. She was absolutely enchanting and a real professional singer. She sang many songs including minority groups. She rekindled my naive romanticism for China I had through my childhood and teenage years with her fantastic voice and energy. The quality of her voice, perfect control and covering different genres of music so professionally, were truly impressive and enjoyable. As my wife is a pianist and one of my cousins is an opera singer, I can appreciate her professionalism and enthusiasm greatly. Fantastic!

The concert was simply great! We enjoyed the songs so much, and someone told me that it was the best Chinese concert he has ever attended.

Dr. Xiaojun Wang

Professor of Chinese, Western Michigan University

All of the comments I have heard about your performance were about how thrilled everyone was with it. It was probably the very best musical performance ever held on our theatre.

… This may sound strange, but I was actually brought to tears when Hong Zhang was singing! I never heard her sing in person, I was completely taken over, the sound was so beautiful… And I really hope that many people can learn about the Chinese culture that has so powerfully impressed and amazed me. Thanks again!

Many thanks again for participating in and presenting at the conference, especially for Zhang Laoshi’s lecture recital which is liked and enjoyed by all. Our conference started and ended with your songs, I do not think a conference would be more successful without you, Zhang Laoshi.

Dr. Meiru Liu

Thank you so much for coming to our campus to conduct Lecture & Recital, which is very informative and entertaining. I learned a lot myself, and I believe my students and colleagues had the same experience.
