    Hi Ann2002_2,

    August 21

    We started playing some Western songs, such as "America, the Beautiful" and "Edelweiss", since 2002.

     

    Hi everyone,

    Gu-zheng (Chinese zither) is a traditional Chinese musical instrument.

    Except playing traditional and contemporary Chinese gu zheng music, we also play Western music. Because we locate in the United States and we have performed in many different places with American audience as well as those from different countries, we started playing some Western songs since 2002 to make the music more interesting and easier for our audience to learn and understand. Among them are as the followings:

    Ave, Maria (Arranged by Paul Ma and Alice Kan in 2002)

    America, the Beautiful (Arranged by Alice Kan in 2002)

    Edelweiss (Arranged by Alice Kan in 2003)

    God Bless America (Arranged by Alice Kan in 2003)

    Amazing Grace (Arranged by Alice Kan in 2004)

    Joy to the world (Arranged by Alice Kan in 2005)

     

    Hope that one day you can attend our performance.
