The late LUI TSUN-YUEN was born of a musical family in Soochow, China. At the age of ten, he took up the study of the Pipa and the Chin with the foremost masters in China and was coached by such musical scholars as Wang Yu-Ting and Hsia Pao-Shen.
Equipped with a prodigious technique, Lui was a sensitive musician who is completely dedicated to his instruments. The only accomplished player in the Western countries, Lui is regarded at home, as one of the few great exponents of these classical instruments. Lui was also a composer and wrote original compositions for the Pipa. Lui played in Hong Kong both in recitals and in radio broadcasts. In Brazil, he was presented on T.V. by the Brazilian Ministry of Education. He also participated in the 1958 Sao Paolo Music Festival in a recital of Chinese classical music.
