January 30, 2023: Lighting the Way Home: A Lunar New Year Concert with Nathan Wang and the Saltando Strings Ensemble

7:00 p.m.; Tickets: $10 per person; Free for students

Together with Chinese-American pianist and composer Nathan Wang (On Gold Mountain), the all-women Saltando Strings Ensemble will perform beloved traditional Chinese and Taiwanese folk tunes in honor of the Lunar New Year Festival, which traditionally celebrates the beginning of spring and the arrival of the new year in many Asian cultures. The evening will be made even more special by the world premiere performance of a new work by Wang in honor of Anna May Wong, the renowned Chinese-American actress who was also recently honored by the US Mint as one of the new faces (and the first Asian American) to be featured on the US quarter.

"I hope that our performance will be able to transport listeners back to this iconic era and give them a sense of the courage and resilience that Wong exemplified throughout her career," said Wang about the upcoming premiere.

Nathan Wang's appearance has been made possible thanks to Singpoili Entertainment.
