No music, no life! Music can help us relax, give life to those who are depressed and offer relief from a day's hard work. Most people like appreciating music or dancing to the music. Today we'll introduce a band and a pipa and guzheng soloist.
The band is named Twelve Girls Band, founded in June 2001. At first it wasn't famous, but all of a sudden it became popular in Japan. Now the band has become one of the most popular groups at home and abroad. The members of Twelve Girls Band come from such famous colleges and universities as China Academy of Music and Central Conservatory of Music. Drawing upon over 1,500 years of Chinese music, the band charms the world. They have been presented with awards many times. Their records have become its fans' collections. The band honours its music heritage and shows a genuine love for all styles of music.
The soloist is Liu Fang, an international music star. In addition to pipa, she also plays guzheng. She is good at playing folk songs. Meanwhile, she combines Chinese traditional music with western music. Liu Fang had a great gift for music as a child, therefore her mother sent her to play pipa. She has given concerts since 11. While playing pipa, the biggest challenge is to respect traditions and add her own style. The same is true of guzheng. Now, Liu Fang lives in Canada, where she often makes contacts with master musicians, sharing feelings and ideas with them. She's also voluntary to give some bands directions. Regarding her ambition she wants to compose music and introduce Chinese classical music to every corner of the world.,
没有音乐就没有生命。音乐可以帮助我们放松，给那些沮丧的人活力，还可以缓解一天的劳累。大多数人喜欢欣赏音乐或伴着音乐跳舞。今天我们要介绍一个乐队以及一位琵琶和古筝独奏者。
乐队是成立于2001年6月的“女子十二乐坊”。起初它并不出名，但是突然在日本变得大受欢迎。现在这个乐队已经成为国内外最受欢迎的乐队之一。“女子十二乐坊”乐队的成员来自一些非常著名的大学，如中国音乐学院以及中央音乐学院等。凭借中国1 500多年的音乐文化，这支乐队吸引了整个世界。她们已多次被授予奖项。她们的唱片也成为粉丝们的收藏品。这支乐队尊崇自己的音乐遗产，并显示出对各种音乐风格的真心热爱。
独奏者是刘芳，一位国际音乐明星。除了琵琶外，她也演奏古筝。她擅长演奏中国民歌。同时她将中国传统音乐与西方音乐相结合。刘芳在很小时就有很好的音乐天赋，因此她的妈妈送她去学琵琶。11岁起她就开始举办音乐会。在弹奏琵琶时，最大的挑战是在尊重传统的同时还要融入她自己的风格。弹古筝也是这样。现在，刘芳住在加拿大，在那里她经常与音乐大师来往，与他们一起分享感受与想法。她也自愿为一些乐队提供指导。关于她的志向，她想创作乐曲，把中国的古典音乐传播到世界的各个角落。
