About the Artists:

Dance China NY, the resident touring company at the New York Chinese Cultural Center, was founded in 1973 in New York City’s Chinatown.

Dancers include internationally renowned artists from performance stages and academies throughout mainland China, Taiwan and the U.S. Performing a vast and dynamic range of Chinese dance and Beijing opera styles, Dance China NY, transports audiences to a world of colorful myths, historical drama, and timeless beauty. Dance China NY’s repertoire of traditional and contemporary folk and classical dances weaves a vibrant vision of China’s ancient indigenous folk cultures across varied terrains of time and region – legend and reality.

Noted for pieces with powerful grace and contained elegance, Dance China NY performs regularly throughout the United States for audiences of all ages. Dance China NY has toured to hundreds of cities across 23 states, bringing the movements and rhythms of China to communities large and small.

Sun Wei (musician) is the principal performer of Guzheng of the Chinese National Orchestra in New York.

Since her arrival in New York in 2016, she has been invited to perform at the Lincoln Center, United Nations, Pace University, Columbia University, Merkin Concert Hall, Flushing Townhall, Queens College Art Center, among others.

Wei was born into a family of artists. She is a national certified senior teacher of Guzheng, a member of the Chinese National Instrumental Association and a member of the International Guzheng Association. She learned from the famous Guzheng artist Sha Yuan. Wei’s employment of the seven-tone Guzheng offers ground-breaking possibilities to play in western sound worlds, breaking the usual pentatonic limitations of traditional Chinese instruments.

Yang Wang (musician), an erhu prodigy, started his music journey at age seven.

Over his years of formal music education, Yang attended Xi’an Conservatory of Music for college and studied professional erhu performance from instructor Wei Jin, a prestigious erhu artist in China. In 2013, Yang successfully held a recital where he showcased traditional and contemporary numbers with outstanding erhu techniques.

Yang has travelled and performed at Lincoln Center, New York Carnegie Hall, and the Chinese National Center for Performing Arts. Yang is currently living in Brooklyn and experimenting erhu infused world music.
