FEATURED GUEST: We have the honor of inviting two outstanding guest performers this year, Colm ORiain (violin/fiddle) and Diana Rowan (harp), who will be performing as a trio with Winnie Wong under their show-stopping collective known as Lucky Pluckers. This is a rare and must-see fusion between Irish and Chinese traditional music, one of many magnificent melting pot discoveries in Ms. Wongs mission to join culture and sounds.
Our concert finale will feature Winnie Wongs latest arrangement, Generals Aria, a musical narrative drawing the scenes, circumstances and emotions of wars story. This powerful and creative composition was inspired by the popular Cantonese folk melody, The Generals Command. Ms. Wongs performance and creation, accompanied by CSME principal performers, will take your sensory levels to new heights and tug at your heart strings!
Help us spread the harmony and cultural understanding that our ensemble represents. Join hands with us to make the 20th Anniversary Concert an unforgettable celebration of music and heritage.
