Click the play button to listen

Today, the Spotlight shines On vocalist, composer, and improviser 王睿琪 Ruiqi Wang (pronounced as "Ray-Chee Wong").

Ruiqi Wang creates stunning experimental music, combining influences from jazz, contemporary Euro-classical music, and traditional Chinese music.

Ruiqi Wang joined us on the heels of the release of her debut album, Subduing the Silence (Orchard of Pomegranates). This profound, 36-minute album boasts an all-female cast of collaborators and expresses a musical vision seldom articulated in a debut work.

In addition to composing, performing, and recording in a variety of contexts and projects, Ruiqi Wang is pursuing a Masters degree in Music Composition—Contemporary Jazz at the Bern Academy of the Arts in Switzerland.
