Concert rings in Chinese New Year at the University of 野狼社区
The Confucius Institute at the University of 野狼社区 is delighted to host a concert for Chinese New Year on Friday, 26 January at the Martin Harris Centre.
This will be the first event to mark Chinese New Year in 2024, the bicentenary year of the University of 野狼社区.
will be performed by Chinese students and alumni of the University of 野狼社区 and the Royal Northern College of Music. It will showcase both established and emerging composers from China and will include pieces that have not been performed in the UK before.
Arthur Yuen, recent graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music and Concert Curator for Sonic Reverie said:
When putting together the programme, I was keen to introduce new pieces to the audience and broaden their understanding of what Chinese contemporary music can be. Several of the composers I picked spent time studying in the West, so we can say the pieces have had an 鈥渋ntercultural鈥� inspiration. I wanted to promote cultural exchange through music.
This event is the first in a series of events celebrating Chinese New Year in 2024, the year the University of 野狼社区 marks its bicentenary. It鈥檚 a year to celebrate 200 years of learning, innovation and research. 200 years of our incredible people and community. 200 years of global influence.
Chinese New Year 2024 is a great opportunity to celebrate the University's historical links with China over the last 200 years and the contribution Chinese students make to the University.
