“For over 5,000 years, music has been essential to Chinese culture. Its language is tonal, its poems were once sung, and traditionally an educated person was understood to be a musical expert.”
Music at China Institute 华美音乐 is a collaborative program between the US-China Music Institute and China Institute in New York City, bringing the beauty, wisdom and philosophy of traditional Chinese music to people of all ages and backgrounds in the heart of Lower Manhattan.
Small group classes are taught by award-winning musicians and educators carefully selected by the US-China Music Institute.
NOTE: Due to the coronavirus pandemic, online classes in guqin and pipa are being organized for Spring 2020. Check the China Institute website for more information.
