XIA Fei-yun (1936 ～ )
XIA Fei-yun is a conductor and educator. He is a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and is recognized as China’s first professional conductor of an traditional Chinese orchestra who received rigorous musical education. He was born in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province in 1936. As a child, he developed a love for music after being inspired by a blind fortune-teller who played the erhu near his school. Due to financial constraints, he couldn’t afford to buy instruments for learning, so he went to the mountains to find bamboo and made his own huqin (a traditional Chinese string instrument) and flutes. He taught himself music. When he reached middle school, a music teacher arrived who had a violin. During the winter break, the teacher entrusted XIA Fei-yun with the instrument, arousing his desire to replicate it, and he made his first violin.
In 1953, carrying the violin he made himself, he was admitted to the Violin Department of the Affiliated Middle School of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. In 1956, he entered the undergraduate program at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, majoring in conducting for traditional Chinese music ensembles, studying under professors such as YANG Jia-ren and WEI Zhong-le. After graduating in 1961, he stayed at the conservatory as a teacher. He held positions such as assistant, lecturer, associate professor, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Music, and eventually became a professor. He also trained orchestras in Shanxi, Jiangsu, and other provinces.
From 1969 to 1978, he was seconded to the Shanghai Jingju (Peking Opera) Troupe as the chief conductor of a mixed Chinese-Western orchestra for their production of “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy.” During this time, he conducted various orchestras including the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Traditional Chinese Orchestra, Shanghai Chinese Orchestra, China National Traditional Orchestra, Shanghai Jingju Troupe Orchestra, Shanghai Film Orchestra, and Oriental Radio Chinese Orchestra. He was invited to be the resident conductor of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and has performed abroad on multiple occasions.
In 1995, he received the “Special Conductor Award” at the 3rd China Record Golden Disc Awards. In early 2001, he led the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra to perform at the Golden Hall in Vienna and embarked on a concert tour in Austria and Germany. From 2001 to 2002, he was appointed as the Principal Guest Conductor of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. In June 2016, he was honored with the “Outstanding Conductor of Traditional Orchestras” Special Contribution Award at the 5th Chinese Orchestral Summit and Xinyi Cup.
