Our activities fall into three core program areas:
Professional Concerts
All Chinese Music Concerts, showcasing exceptional Chinese composers, instruments, performers, and themes
International Composition Competition, soliciting original works inspired by a Chinese cultural theme from composers worldwide
Young Artist Development
Annual Music Festival in Honor of Confucius, encouraging young musicians to learn Chinese music on western and/or Chinese instruments
The Barbara Tiao Competition, awarding promising young composers at the Shanghai and Beijing Conservatories
Community Engagement
Annual large-scale Multi-Disciplinary Events at high profile public venues such as the Adler Planetarium, Art Institute, Chicago Cultural Center, and Millennium Park

Through these core programs, we inspire young artists and professionals to explore and expand their experience beyond western arts, enriching their awareness of China’s cultural heritage.
