Liu Fang, a foremost representative of the younger generation of pipa (lute) soloists, is regarded as one of the leading pipa players outside China. Born in China in 1974, she studied at the Shanghai Conservatory for Music. Since moving to Canada in 1996, she has had an impressive international career and received many honors including the prestigious New Millennium Prize and L’Académie Charles Cros Award (French equivalent of the Grammy).
