We’re looking forward to welcoming guzhengist and composer Mindy Mend Wang as guest mentor for Episode 8.

Mindy Meng Wang a versatile Chinese/Australian Composer and world leading contemporary Guzheng Performing Artist. She is a pioneer to bring the Guzheng (ancient Chinese harp) into many western genres such as experimental, Jazz, western classical, Electronic, pop and improvisation.

In Europe, she collaborated with many high-profile artists like Gorillaz and in Australia her collaborators include Regurgitator, Tim Shiel, Paul Grabowsky and Deborah Cheetham, AAO, Orchestra Victoria, SSO among others.

Mindy has won “the Best Musician” of the 2021 Music Victoria Awards and the 2021 “the 40 Under 40: Most Influential Asian-Australian Awards”. Mindy is also the 2022/23 artist in residence at Melbourne Recital Centre – the first ever musician who plays a non-western instrument.

Mindy’s long-term vision is to creates a strong voice for female composers and artists of Asian heritage, and more importantly, create a deeper and reciprocal musical connection between Australia and Asia.
