She is known as a Defining Voice of the New Generation in Globalizing the Konghou, the Pioneer of Modern Chinese Konghou Art in the Eastern U.S., the Founding Ambassador of Modern Chinese Konghou Art Abroad, the Most Influential Konghou Virtuoso of the New Generation, a direct lineage holder of the Qin-style Guzheng tradition, and holds a master’s degree in Asian Cultural Studies and Music Performance.Lucina was awarded the New York City Artist Grant in 2021, and in February 2025, she received the Asian American Contribution Medal personally from Mayor Eric Adams during the Lunar New Year celebrations.In 2018, Lucina became the first Chinese soloist to perform at Madison Square Garden. She is also the first Konghou artist to appear at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and New York Fashion Week.Her journey into music began at just two years old when she spontaneously played melodies on a toy keyboard. From a young age, she developed a sensitivity to timbre, distinguishing the artificial resonance of electronic instruments from the warm, natural vibrations of acoustic sound. This early discernment led to a lifelong preference for unamplified instruments, shaping the tonal purity that defines her performances today.Despite family pressure to pursue academics and a childhood medical accident that left her nearly disabled, Lucina overcame significant obstacles to pursue her musical calling. On September 9, 2009, she was discovered and mentored by Junzhi Cui, founder of modern Konghou art, who also lent her a Konghou for practice. Deeply moved, Lucina made a personal vow to preserve and promote the art form.In 2012, she won first prize in the CCTV National Chinese Instrumental Music Competition, officially launching her professional career. Since her debut at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in 2014, Lucina has performed at prestigious venues, including the United Nations Headquarters, China Institute, and various international stages, often appearing on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and Feng Hua Guo Yue.In 2016, she gave the world premiere of Ice and Fire, a Konghou concerto composed by Dongqing Fang—celebrated Chinese composer and winner of the Golden Bell Award and First Prize at the Shanghai Spring International Composition Competition—performed with the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra. That same year, she was invited by the Metropolitan Harp Society of New York for a solo concert introducing Konghou to American harpists. She also performed Buddhist music for interfaith leaders at Taiwan’s Museum of World Religions, beginning her recording of a full-length Konghou album.In 2018, she performed the Prabhūtaratna Buddhist suite at the 7th Parliament of the World’s Religions in Toronto. The following year, her solo Earth became the soundtrack to Musical Meditation No. 3, featured at the 5th The Integration of Art and Science in the Age of Artificial Intelligence HCI Sound Art Installation Embodied Sonic Meditation by Tsinghua University and the National Museum of China.Also in 2019, Lucina recorded Jiayue Cecilia Wu’s multimedia composition For Tashi, which won over ten international awards, including the SEAMUS 2021 Album of the Year, the New York Film Festival, and the London International Animation Festival.In 2020, her single-track album Earth was mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Alan Silverman and adopted as a reference recording in New York University’s graduate audio engineering curriculum.In 2021, she premiered five new works by international composers through the New York City Artist Grant. In 2024, she gave the world premiere of Tan Dun’s Concerto for Guzheng and Strings in New York. In 2025, she released the debut Konghou album Transcendent Phoenix: Ice and Fire (鸿鹄·箜篌秘境), showcasing a decade of innovation on this ancient instrument and embarking on a new journey to preserve and reinvent Konghou culture.Lucina was formally trained in Konghou, Guzheng, and Western harp by master musicians. She became the first full-time graduate student of Guzheng Master Professor Zhou Wang in North America. Renowned harpist Susan Jolles not only trained Lucina in Western harp but also recorded Lucina’s Konghou chamber work Yartsa Gunbu.As an avid classical music connoisseur, Lucina has studied over 100 historic recordings and attended hundreds of concerts and operas, developing a unique musical voice that blends Chinese spiritual elegance with Western structural rigor. Her style is noted for its expressiveness, fluidity, and sophistication, captivating audiences through a synthesis of East and West.Lucina’s repertoire spans solo, concerto, ensemble, chamber music, contemporary works, New Age, World Music, electronic sound, and cross-genre collaborations. She also integrates classical and meditative Buddhist music, bridging traditional aesthetics with modern appeal.Her life’s mission is to bring the highest standard of Chinese musical artistry into the Western mainstream, offering the world a refined and resonant symbol of Chinese cultural excellence.
