In honor of our 25th Anniversary, the Chinese Fine Arts Society (CFAS) presented a week of special programming last summer during the City of Chicago’s Chinese Cultural Week celebration. One of the highlights of this programming was a Memorial concert, dedicated to our late founder Barbara Tiao, called In Tribute: A Chinese Voyage, which we presented at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion on July 27th as part of Millennium Park’s Dusk Variations series. The concert featured a wonderful array of luminaries from the Chicago classical music community, including violinist Rachel Barton Pine, Chinese instrumentalists Betti Xiang and Wei Yang, and Chicago Symphony assistant concert master Yuan Qing Yu, lead clarinetist John Bruce Yeh, Chicago Pro Musica, and Cheng Da Percussion Ensemble.
