Prairie Harvest Moon

Celebrating music from contemporary Chinese composers, traditional Chinese music and from local Canadian talent. We will have an hour-long chamber music concert featuring works by Canadian composers such as Vivian Fung and Kevin Lau as well as traditionally-inspired performances by many local musicians, including violinist Frank Ho and pianist Ping-Shan Liao. This mixture of classical and traditional music will also include a performance by Jia Jia Yong on the konghou, a double-rowed harp based on the ancient Chinese instrument.

Performers: Frank Ho (violin), Raymond Man Wui Leung (violin), Jia Jia Yong (konghou), Stephanie Wong (oboe), Ping-Shan Liao (piano), Rron Delos Santos (piano) & Valentina Benvenuti (classical guitar)

At 2:00 pm, we will have community dance and tai-chi performances by the Edmonton Multicultural Innovative Society (EMIS).
