One
highlight of the reception evening of the "Suspended Marks - Chinese Lantern Festival" at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art
on February 15, 2003 was a musical performance of four songs on the
guzheng by Xiaoyu Yan. Though just 14 years old, Yan, an eighth grader at
Parkway West Middle School, is a gifted musician and a skilled performer. She
was born in Shanghai, China, and has been playing the guzheng since she was
four. The musical understanding evident in her playing well surpassed her young
age and delighted the audience.
Letter of
Achievement

Dear Xiaoyu,
Thank you for your participation at the opening ceremonies of the
"Suspended
Marks" exhibition of Lampo Leong and Yueying Zhong. Your Guzheng performance is a special contribution to the evening, adding to the celebration of the exhibition, and the Lantern Festival of the Chinese New Year as well.
In recognition of your outstanding ability as a young musician, the Saint Louis University Museum of Art presents you with this Letter of Achievement. Your musical program will give others the opportunity to enjoy the spirit of the Chinese
culture, enhancing the "Suspended Marks" exhibition's ability to inspire and educate the faculty, students and staff of Saint Louis University and the local St. Louis community.
Thank you again for your contributions and may the upcoming year be one of luck and good fortune.
Sincerely,
Nanette Erika Boileau
Director
