Holiday Concert: An Evening of Chinese Folk Songs

The China Institute in America will host a Christmas Concert.

Chinese song has a long continuum going back centuries. It has evolved from simple folk tunes to the present day art song. The performance interprets the connection between the traditional folk song and the modern Chinese art song that still translates the love of music by the Chinese people.
