Pipa player promotes ancient instrument with rare passion

Chinese pipa player Wu Yuxia never says "no" to educational performances and projects since she believes that spreading the word about the four-stringed lute, a Chinese musical instrument with more than 2,000 years of history, is her life's work.

"Whenever I get the chance to do a concert for a young audience or invite students for a collaboration, I go for it," says Wu.

The Shanghai-born, Beijing-based pipa master has been playing the traditional instrument for nearly 50 years.
