Presenter
President and art director of the China National Opera House, art director of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra and dean of the Conducting Department of the China Central Conservatory of Music (CCCM).
Having begun studying music at a very young age, Yu Feng enrolled at the Conducting Department of the China Central Conservatory of Music in 1985. Six years later, he graduated with a Master's Degree and kicked off his teaching career in the same department. The same year, he became the first Chinese winner of the International Young Conductors' Competition held in Portugal, prompting national media to hail him as a "genius" and call it a "victory for the east".
In 1994, Yu was awarded the gold medal for teaching excellence by the State Education Council's Fok Ying Tung Education Foundation. He then moved overseas to study at the Berlin Conservatory of Music and secured his PhD in conducting in 1996. Back in China, he took up the position of dean of the CCCM's conducting department, a post he still holds, and won a government subsidy from the State Council reserved for "experts who had made extraordinary contributions". In 2001, Yu was given the honorary title of "national teacher of model professional ethics".
Yu Feng's gracious conducting style and insightful interpretations of music have won him international recognition among audiences and musicians worldwide. He has been invited to collaborate with a host of international symphony orchestras including the New Portugal National Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestra of Berlin and the Neapolis Symphony Orchestra in Italy. In recent years, the China National Opera House and the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra have made considerable progress under his leadership.
Yu's professional teaching has given rise to a raft of talented young musicians, conductors and instrumentalists. He has been invited to give lectures in the USA, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong, and many overseas students have started coming to China to learn from Yu, bringing to an end the one-way traffic of Chinese students leaving the country to study in the West.
