China Conservatory of Music
Born in Beijing, Wu Fei studied at the China Conservatory of Music until 2000. She continued her education at Mills College where she earned a M.A. in Composition (2002–04). Her musical mission has been to extend the sonic experience of the traditional guzheng performance with twenty-first musical improvisational materials, techniques, and performances. As a participant in the downtown New York improvisation scene, she had many opportunities to explore genres with a myriad of like-minded musicians. She has teamed up with John Zorn, Fred Firth, Gyan Riley, Carla Kihlstedt, Billy Martin, The Wu-Force, and Abigail Washburn.
