The most influential CHINESE cellist in the world
Posted by VW in High-End Art Music on Sunday December 11th, 2016Chu Yi-Bing Cello Ensemble on Silk Road
Chu Yi-Bing
Honorary Professor of Cello and Chamber Music
Hong Kong Music and Performing School
Chu Yibing is a Chinese cellist. He contributed to spreading ensemble music all over China. His ensemble China Philharmonic Cellists, made up of 12 Chinese cellists, gives concerts all over the country.
He was imparted rudimentary knowledge of music by his parents, both of whom were professors in the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, when he was a kid. His mother is half-Swiss half-Chinese. Chu’s father was an excellent cellist and a strict teacher, so Chu laid a solid foundation before he studied abroad in Europe.
He went to Europe to pursue music studies in 1983. In France, he studied with Maurice Gendron. In 1986, he was awarded several prizes in an international cello competition in Geneva, which made him the first Chinese cellist that had won an international competition. Chu graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris in 1987 with Premier Prix, becoming the third Chinese musician (after Ma Sicong and Xian Xinghai) who ever got a degree with merit from the Conservatoire de Paris. Then, Chu began to study on 20th-century music, working with Inter Contemporain and Pierre Boulez.
Chu became the principal cellist of Sinfonieorchester Basel, Switzerland, in 1989. In 1999, he was the guest principal cellist of Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
Chu was invited by his German cellist friends as one of the 6 members of the Cologne Philharmonic Cellists and gave many performances all over Germany. A large amount of traditional works have been revised by this group into cello ensemble works, with modern perspectives and popular styles. Besides, as an outstanding cellist, Chu had opportunities to play with other great cellists such as Rostropovich, Greenhouse, etc.
For knowing music from a new approach, he decided to study conducting at the Basel Music Academy. Then, he began to conduct symphony orchestras in Switzerland. Chu has conducted the Hallé, Britain’s longest-established symphony orchestra, Munich Symphony Orchestra, Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra and Berlin Symphony Orchestra.
In 2004, after 21 years studying and playing in Europe, Chu came back to China and was appointed as Professor of Cello at the Central Conservatory of Music. After that, he and his followers began to spread music as well as ideas of music education over China by giving concerts in various forms and propagating western music studies.
Chu believes that Chinese people are the most suitable group of people for appreciating chamber music because of the Chinese historical backgrounds. So, he founded the China Philharmonic Cellists and tour around the country giving performances with amazing energy and exquisite tastes. Chu’s efforts have been well-recognized and highly appraised by mainstream media in China.

Vincent LARDERET has attracted international recognition for the exceptional intensity of his performances and his highly acclaimed recordings. Praised as an “impressive pianist” (MusicWeb International, UK) for his “very lyrical playing” (Crescendo Magazine, Belgium) and his “multi-timbred” sound (Fanfare, USA), he “makes the piano equal to an orchestra” (Classica, France) with a wide range of “fascinating pianistic colors” (PIANO News, Germany). His very personal and deeply inspired interpretations are often compared to the piano legends such as Michelangeli, Perlemuter, Zimerman and Argerich.

BodiBalance – The Ultimate Think Drink
BodiBalance is a functional nutrition line designed to help minimize the negative effects of today’s hectic, stressful, chaotic lifestyle while enhancing the body’s ability to function at an optimal level.
BodiBalance products are carefully formulated to support the return to a healthy and vibrant natural rhythm. With a focus on multi-faceted, multi-function products, BodiBalance is designed to help bring balance to your body and mind the way nature intended – functioning well and feeling great.
NUTRIENT RICH
Because each cell in the body needs balance to effectively absorb nutrients and expel toxins, BodiBalance uses whole life nutrients to support the biological rhythms that control these cellular interchanges. Rich in micro-nutrients like catechins, gamma oryzanol and beta sitosterol, the ingredients in BodiBalance products support cellular communication and the impulses that make up the body’s natural biological rhythms.
TURN CHAOS TO BALANCED
We all know our lives are complicated, rushed, and filled to the brim. We’ve become multi-tasking jugglers performing superhuman duties in a 24-hour world that rarely finds us unplugged. To thrive in this always on-the-go, seldom stress-free world, the body needs support to combat the imbalances this world can create. BodiBalance is the solution to smoothly handling our stressful lives!
THE POWER OF TWO
As the BodiBalance core products, Lights Off and Lights On were formulated to work together – as a 24/7 solution to our 24/7 hectic lifestyles. While each is a stand-alone product, the magic is in the synergy created by using both products to enhance the body’s ability to reset your body’s natural rhythm. Every single ingredient was specifically selected to achieve a particular result. For instance, Lights On contains a potent Vitamin B profile that saturates the body during the day and is further utilized at night in combination with the ingredients in Lights Off. These formulations are nothing short of brilliant and, together, this BodiBalance duo is unbeatable in its ability to help your body reset its natural balance!
LIGHTS ON Work & Play Formula
With an amazing ingredient profile, Lights On gives you the focus and concentration to allow both your mind and body to perform at optimal levels. During the day, your body needs nutrients to fuel every aspect of performance: exercise physiology, sport recovery, mental clarity and overall health. BodiBalance ingredient blends are specifically designed to support each of these key metabolic processes. While Lights On does provide physical energy, high-quality nutrients, vitamins, and outstanding healthful botanicals, its ingredients are primarily focused on mental acuity, clarity and concentration.
LIGHTS OFF Relax & Rest Formula
Your day truly begins the night before, so start with Lights Off each night to set the stage for your best days. During sleep, your body naturally regenerates and repairs itself, so how you feel in the morning depends largely on the rest you get at night. With Lights Off, you’ll experience exceptional relaxation, be able to shed the stress of the day and fully decompress. While BodiBalance Lights Off does not induce sleep, it is the only known product to offer the extensive array of leading-edge ingredients for relaxation and stress release to allow you to more easily drift off to a deep, restorative sleep, and wake refreshed and rejuvenated.
楊曉光

楊曉光簡歷
1966年，生於陝西省華陰縣一個四代傳承繪畫的家庭。他的父親有幸做了國畫大師何海霞的門徒。 他自小隨父學藝，精通人物、山水、花鳥畫，畫風清新俊逸，獨具風格。他還是一比特著名的陶藝家，1984年11月，入職陝西省銅川市莊裡陶瓷廠，從事陶瓷彩繪工作。1999年12月任職陝西富平陶藝村陶藝工藝師，創作了一批轟動國內外陶藝界，反映西北風情的陶藝人物作品。他的作品“秦腔票友”、“回娘家”、“祈雨”、“打猪草”、“哭靈”、“下棋”、“喝酒”等系列民俗陶藝作品，被富樂國際陶藝博物館長期收藏，作品中流露著楊曉光對生活的感悟和他的自身藝術素養，成為國際陶藝博物館的一大亮點，曾經得到國際陶藝協會主席珍妮特•曼斯費爾德的親切接見。當代陶藝作品“容的變格”入選首届國際當代陶藝青年新秀展。陶藝作品“打猪草”、“盲伴”入選西安、景德鎮、寧波三地陶藝家作品聯展。2007年9月任職唯美集團高級工藝師、藝術總監助理，他把濃濃西北風土人情融入到嶺南文化中，感染了諸多觀眾。創作的陶藝系列為室內空間融入了藝術氣息。
2008年7月4日，國家副主席習近平衕誌在參觀唯美陶瓷博物館時，楊曉光負責作現場陶瓷創作演示，習副主席看到眼前栩栩如生的人物造型，高度讚揚了楊曉光的藝術成就，被傳為一段佳話。2009年創立了“楊曉光墨刻裝飾畫”。這一創新，為唯美集團，馬可波羅文化磚注入了新的血液，雕刻與水墨畫完美的結合，給市場帶來了新的契機。著名雜誌《中國陶瓷藝術版》專門為此寫了一篇文章，文章中這樣稱讚他的墨刻藝術：“利刃在土坯上劃過崩裂的痕迹，水墨浸透出詩一般的畫面，金石殘痕伴隨著潤若細雨，就像音樂曲譜一樣婉轉起伏、耐人尋味！這就是楊曉光墨刻裝飾畫，它是傳統與現代美術的融匯，陶藝思維凑成多變的肌理，於版畫中感悟立體空間，蒼與潤構成了濃郁中國文人水墨畫風，在黑、白、灰的色調中引領永恒的時尚。”他的作品“九鯉圖”、 “清溪圖”、“嶺南春曉”、“山高水長”、“松山湖之晨”、“秋山訪友”等，得到社會各界人士一致好評，其作品多次被市政府部門作為國禮送往日本、韓國等國。曾經為深圳機場貴賓招待所、高埗鎮政府、道滘鎮政府、江西省吉安市政府、甘肅平凉大酒店、華南理工大學創作過巨幅墨刻壁畫。中國建築陶瓷博物館，清遠分館，江西分館都收藏楊曉光大量的精品墨刻畫。如今由楊曉光研發的墨刻藝術品被廣泛用於電視背景牆、巨型壁畫、大廳裝潢等，作品遍佈全國各大城市，十分暢銷，使藝術大眾化，墨刻藝術走進了千家萬家，同時給現代家庭裝飾注入了深厚的文化內涵。2009年1月19日，李鐵映前往唯美集團觀看墨刻畫並與楊曉光親切交流。小型墨刻畫“虎門大橋”，“可園”，“嶺南春曉”被鎮政府作為國禮送往日本、韓國、新加坡等國。2012年6月12日中國建陶博物館“楊曉光工作室”成立，工作室包括設計創作陶藝作品、陶壁牆、墨刻裝飾畫。2007年9月，唯美集團董事長黃建平親自邀請楊曉光加入唯美集團，擔任唯美陶瓷博物館高級工藝美術師兼藝術總監助理，從此，他把濃濃西北風土人情融入到嶺南文化中，“陝西八大怪”，“七姑八姨”感染了諸多觀眾，“制陶人物系列”用藝術的語言，反映了陶文化的深遠而深受歡迎，其創作的“村長系列”，獲廣東省第三届民間工藝精品展銅獎。他又不斷突破探索，將陶藝與建築相融合，開創出新的建築裝飾資料——陶壁牆，創作陶壁牆 “秦風漢韻”，獲首届世界建築瓷磚設計大獎賽“優秀入圍獎”。2008年7月4日，國家副主席習近平衕誌在參觀唯美陶瓷博物館時，楊曉光負責作現場陶瓷創作演示，習副主席看到眼前栩栩如生的人物造型，高度讚揚了楊曉光的藝術成就，被傳為一段佳話。
楊曉光被公認是能在藝術個性與市場兩者間，找到最佳平衡點的藝術家。繼陶壁牆後，他開始嘗試在陶板上創作一種包含了水墨畫、版畫和陶藝等諸多元素相結合的藝術創作形式。2009年墨刻藝術在他的手中誕生了。著名雜誌《中國陶瓷藝術版》專門為此寫了一篇文章，文章中這樣稱讚他的墨刻藝術：“利刃在土坯上劃過崩裂的痕迹，水墨浸透出詩一般的畫面，金石殘痕伴隨著潤若細雨，就像音樂曲譜一樣婉轉起伏、耐人尋味！這就是楊曉光墨刻裝飾畫，它是傳統與現代美術的融匯，陶藝思維凑成多變的肌理，於版畫中感悟立體空間，蒼與潤構成了濃郁中國文人水墨畫風，在黑、白、灰的色調中引領永恒的時尚。”他的作品“九鯉圖”、“清溪圖”、“嶺南春曉”、“山高水長”、“松山湖之晨”、 “秋山訪友”等，得到社會各界人士一致好評，其作品多次被市政府部門作為國禮送往日本、韓國等國。曾經為深圳機場貴賓招待所、高埗鎮政府、道滘鎮政府、江西省吉安市政府、甘肅平凉大酒店、華南理工大學創作過巨幅墨刻壁畫。中國建築陶瓷博物館，清遠分館，江西分館都收藏楊曉光大量的精品墨刻畫。如今由楊曉光研發的墨刻藝術品被廣泛用於電視背景牆、巨型壁畫、大廳裝潢等，作品遍佈全國各大城市，十分暢銷，使藝術大眾化，墨刻藝術走進了千家萬家，同時給現代家庭裝飾注入了深厚的文化內涵。經唯美集團董事長黃建平介紹楊曉光陶板墨刻畫，李鐵映衕誌聽後，非常感興趣，李鐵映衕誌來到唯美便直奔馬可波羅手工磚展廳，對楊曉光的墨刻作品駐足流連，表示讚賞。並與其深入地探討了墨刻技法。可以說在唯美集團楊曉光已是一個很有名氣的大師，但他一點都沒有大師的架子，他在自己的陶藝工作室免費為學徒教授陶藝知識；成立墨刻組後，他經常下車間親自操刀作畫。他還是廣東省科普教育基地的志願者，曾擔任過石龍中心小學、台商子弟小學、東聯小學的陶藝輔導老師，經他輔導過的師生作品曾獲得了廣東省中小學師生陶藝大賽一、二等獎，有很多東莞知名中小學校的老師慕名而來，向他學習陶藝。可以說，他為東莞市中小學生陶藝教育事業，作出了非常大的貢獻，而他勇於創新、樂於奉獻的寶貴精神也是我們學習的好榜樣。
楊曉光的藝術成就在東莞仍至整個業內的影響力都是深遠的，他為東莞的經濟文化建設，為東莞的自主創新，積極貢獻出自己的力量。

Cherish The Beauty Of Life
Posted by VW in Health Regimen on Tuesday January 5th, 2016Aging is not an ugly word
Aging is, after all, the ultimate goal in life. Like the world’s finest wines, we get better with age. We gain perspective and wisdom. We learn to nurture our most desired virtues and cherish the beauty of life. We become more magnificent with every passing year — and we realize that aging is truly a thing of beauty!
So, we don’t focus on “anti-aging.” Instead, we focus on aging beautifully. On being the best we can be at any age – at every age. On living confident, magnificent lives year after year. We focus on getting the absolute most out of every moment of our lives – our NOW – while creating the future of our dreams – our FOREVER.

Classical Music to Create World Peace
Posted by VW in FOUNDER, High-End Art Music Tags: AU YEUNG Wing Kam, 欧阳咏琴, 歐陽詠琴 on Thursday August 21st, 2014《We Are • HKMPS》
A world-class international music and performing arts academic institution and cultural destination
Please contact us if you want to invest in music art and culture or donate to our School Construction Project, nurturing the next generation of music artists.
Engaging in classical music is sometimes regarded as a luxury. On the contrary, I believe that classical music makes our hearts richer: it touches souls and moves people in positive ways. Its value and its history throughout the world simply cannot be measured. I strongly feel that every individual should have access to this wonderful heritage and the possibility to meet classical music at some times in their lives. Classical music is also a universal language, one that goes beyond barriers. It’s a great channel for uniting all people and for creating world peace.
My music dream started at the age of three. I’m not a musical genius, but perhaps more importantly imbued with a hard-working ethic and a desire for excellence. I’m ready to bring my music to new heights in the community. I hope my dream can also motivate others to pursue the joys of classical music.
2014 is the year of the magical horse – the one that has supernatural powers, is heroic, strong, and can even fly! The horse years promises to bring us all good fortune and good luck. The year of the horse is also the year of HKMPS. I hope that through the work of HKMPS I can share my good fortune and happiness with you all.
Never give up when you reach the finish line!!
