崔佳怡，扬琴演奏者。目前工作、生活于苏州。
扬琴是中国传统的击奏鸣弦乐器。与传统的、典雅的、被动的演奏模式不同的是，她将乐器与演奏置于更加模糊的情境：直接选择其他乐器及作曲家的作品（如利盖蒂、巴赫、武满彻为其他古典乐器创作的作品）进行演奏，通过这样的方式延伸扬琴这一中国乐器以及作为民族乐器演奏家身份的可能性。
在崔佳怡的音乐观念中，实验性的音乐并非只能径直走向即兴的音乐，作为乐器演奏者，更重要的是需要一种属于自己的方式，找到在现代音乐中的位置。探索乐器演奏或以诠释、批判、甚至瓦解的方式，呈现现代视角的音乐听觉感受。在具体的音乐作品中，跨越单一化的乐器语言以及传统聆听方式，塑造具有扬琴击弦性质的现代演奏技术与风格。
CUI Jiayi is a Yangqin musician, who works and lives in Suzhou,China.
The Yangqin is a traditional Chinese dulcimer. Yet, she does not focuses on traditional, elegant and passive performance. Instead, her solo performances focus on works that lie outside the traditional Yangqin repertoire—by choosing works written for other instruments and by composers: for example, works by Ligeti, Bach and Takemitsu.
In this way, CUI Jiayi's performance stretch the understanding the possibilities of the Yangqin and traditional Chinese performance, and the traditional instrumentalist identity.
CUI Jiayi's conception of music is driven by the thought that new music need not go straight to improvisation but more importantly find its place in the modern world. So she is a musician who strives to explore musical performance within today’s world and present the listening experience in a modern perspective by interpretation, criticism and disintegration of the work’s she performs.In the specific music works, the modern performance technique and style with the nature of dulcimer percussion are shaped across the single instrument language and traditional listening mode.
