Liu Fang (simplified Chinese: 刘芳; traditional Chinese: 劉芳) (born 1974) is one of the most prominent pipa players in the world. Described in the media as the "empress of pipa" (L'actualité), "divine mediator" (World), "the greatest ambassadress of the art of the pipa" (La presse), Liu Fang is known as “possessing virtuoso technique, grace and a unique empathy toward the music she plays – whether it is a traditional and folk tune or a modern Western composition” (All Music Guide). "She has an extraordinary focused, poised presence in her manner and her playing. In a lesser player this is just a trained formality; the body of material and techniques for her instruments is extremely highly developed, passed down through centuries. But Liu Fang’s total devotion to her playing has moved her beyond perfect execution to the creativity and flexibility that marks a true musician."(in the fRoots Magazine, 06.2006).
Born in Kunming in the Chinese province of Yunnan, she began playing the pipa at the age of 6. Her first solo public performance was at the age of 9. In 1986, at age 11, she played for Queen Elizabeth II. Her studies at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music broadened her musical range and allowed her to study the guzheng. At the age of 22, Liu Fang immigrated to Canada and is now a Canadian citizen, currently residing in Montreal. The decision to move to Quebec allowed her virtuosic playing to reach a wider international audience. Since 1999, she has performed hundreds of solo concerts featuring Chinese traditional and classical music on her two solo instruments - pipa and guzheng. Her profile has risen due to her rich and deeply spiritual performances as well as a wide ranging repertoire that features music from Chinese classical and folk traditions (including pieces rarely heard) as well as contemporary works from both east and west.

With your broken heart,
You're afraid of the dark.
So look at yourself then look at someone else,

You gotta fight for one when ya know its right,
A brand new thing is about to begin tonight.

And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes,
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya only things you
could find in a drugstore.
People used to tell me, tell me, tell me, just what
kind of high they were looking for.
Take a ride on a purple airplane,
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again.
Cause I got broken bones,
Not from the sticks and stones but from the names that
you call me.

You like my characteristics, you like my stones,
Call me all the names you say and break my bones.
Well let me tell you I've been high most of my life,

Take a ride on a purple airplane,
You know a land there somewhere south of my mind
From you I get a feeling that's opened my eyes
There's something in the air tonight
Every spark of every star shining bright
Never will a mountain be to hard to climb
And there's no river too far or wide
You'll never miss a beat if your heart is free
With you is where I'll be, oh yeah!
Do ya, do ya, do ya feel the love tonight
'Cause I wantcha wantcha here by my side
Do ya, do ya, do ya feel the love tonight
'Cause I can make it right
(I can make it right!)

Searchin' much higher to the rainbowed skys above
You put my heart in fifth, boy you've got my love
Every time we meet I feel a special way
Knowing that your here and not far away-yeah!
Do ya, do ya, do ya feel the love tonight
'Cause I wantcha wantcha here by my side
Do ya, do ya, do ya feel the love tonight
