Influential Chinese violinist Zhongguo Sheng has passed away in Beijing - aged 77.

A graduate of Moscow's Tchaikovsky State Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Leonid Kogan, Mr Sheng is widely regarded as one of the first Chinese concert violinists to earn a successful international reputation.

His famed students included Schoenfeld International String Competition Artistic Director, Suli Xue.

Our condolences are with Mr Sheng's family, friends, colleagues and students.
