Chinese Ensemble is one of the key components of the Chinese instrument major at the Bard Conservatory, offering numerous public performance opportunities for our students of Chinese instruments. Students of Western Instruments are also encouraged to participate, as well as non-majors with interest in Chinese music. The Ensemble performs at least one major concert on campus every semester, with other performances both on and off campus throughout the year. Chinese Ensemble is overseen by Chen Tao, an accomplished music educator and master of the dizi (bamboo flute), with additional support from graduate-level US-China Music Fellows and the directors of the US-China Music Institute.

民乐室内乐每学期至少在校园内举办一场大型期末音乐会以及其他校内外的各种演出。
