Mindy Meng Wang is a versatile Chinese/Australian Composer and world-leading contemporary guzheng performing artist. She is a pioneer to bring the guzheng (ancient Chinese harp) into many western genres such as experimental, jazz, western classical, electronic, pop and improvisation.

In the UK, she collaborated with many high-profile artists like Gorillaz and frequently performed in many significant venues like O2 Arena and Barbican Centre in London, among others. She also performed regularly in festivals in Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and France.

In Australia, Mindy performs regularly in many events, festivals and top venues including the Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin, Adelaide, OzAsia, Mona Foma, Dark Mofo, TEDx Sydney and AsiaTOPA festivals. Her collaborators include Regurgitator, Paul Grabowsky AO, Tim Shiel, Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO, Australian Art Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria and Sydney Symphony Orchestra, among others.

Mindy has won many national and international music awards. Recently, she received the 2022 Sidney Myer Fellowship, nominated as a finalist at the Melbourne Prize for Music, and won “Best Musician” at the Music Victoria Awards and the “40 Under 40: Most Influential Asian-Australian" Award. Mindy is also the artist in residence at Melbourne Recital Centre this year as the first ever musician who plays a non-western instrument.

Her work explores the fertile space between traditional and contemporary practices, and is part of a significant movement of Chinese musicians redefining and reinvigorating their musical tradition. She is a strong voice for young female composers and artists of Chinese heritage on global stage.
