A musical virtuoso, Du began to reach out in his college days. While a student of Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he was sent to Beijing to study classical guitar under the guidance of Chen Zhi, a celebrated guitar master in China. He was sent there for two reasons: he had played the classical guitar at his spare time and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music planned to set up an undergraduate classical guitar course. While studying guitar in Beijing, he did not realize that Suona and guitar, one eastern and one western, would open a door for him to the outside world.
He made his international debut in 2006 at a concert in commemoration of the 61st anniversary of the founding of the United Nations in New York. After the concert, he performed at more than 10 universities in the United States including Stanford, Princeton, and Columbia. In 2013, he gave a lecture on the classical guitar in Chinese style at Miguel de Cervantes Library in Spain. He suggested in the lecture that the classical guitar is a musical instrument that bridges the east and the west.
