Hi Ann2002_2,

Yas, we play traditional and contemporary Chinese gu zheng music. We also play some folk songs. Such as: 'Standing on the Hillock' (站在高崗上) in 2005 and 'We Promise' (我們有約) in 2006.

 

Have a nice weekend.

 

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.

 

We added more photos to share with you. Have a good weekend.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to our page. The purpose to have this small space is to share our life, our feeling, and to promote this beautiful chinese music to all of you. You are very welcome to join us.

 

Have a nice day.
