喬珊 (QIAO Shan)
喬珊，古琴演奏家、琴歌藝術家、國際中國音樂家聯合會副主席、國際古琴學會會長。喬珊1985年畢業於中國音樂學院古琴專業，師從古琴大師管平湖嫡傳弟子王迪。喬珊深得“管派”古琴精髓，其演奏風格既雄健瀟灑，又不失宛轉含蓄，充分繼承了管派古琴演奏中右手勁健清剛，出音沉厚的特點，而左手取音風格也較明顯，尤其是吟猱多用方直而少用圓柔，“綽”、“注”簡練，多取短而少取長，取音顯得古樸簡潔。代表曲目《離騷》、《流水》、《廣陵散》等。在王迪先師的教導和影響下，喬珊總結了琴與歌相和相融的經驗，其琴歌演唱古韻雋永，委婉動人。代表作品有《胡笳十八拍》、《釵頭鳳》、《陽關三疊》、《關山月》等。喬珊在琴歌藝術領域不斷探索，除了繼承傳統琴歌“自彈自唱”的形式之外，還與作曲家共同創作琴歌新作品，並將古琴與民族管弦樂隊、交響樂團、西洋樂器等創新合作，進行大型舞台演出。其中，古琴與民族管弦樂團交響詩《琴詠春秋》曾先後受邀在維也納金色大廳、澳大利亞悉尼歌劇院成功演出。近三十年來，喬珊一直致力於在海內外推廣古琴藝術，加強國際文化交流，陸續與中國交響樂團、香港中樂團，新加坡華樂團、台灣高雄國樂團、澳門中樂團、天津民族樂團等合作演出。曾出訪二十多個國家，成功地舉辦古琴獨奏與協奏音樂會。
