Press Release
Seattle Chinese Orchestra returns to Folklife Festival
May 28-31, 2010
Seattle Center
Authentic Chinese music takes the stage once again by popular demand at this year’s Folklife Festival.
Warren Chang’s Seattle Chinese Orchestra and a number of smaller ensembles including the ever popular drum corps will perform. The exact date and time of the performance will be announced soon by Northwest Folklife Festival.
Early in the history of Folklife Festival, Warren Chang and a handful of his Chinese master musicians who had settled in Seattle performed from this ancient and ethereal, robust and joyful repertoire built over a 5,000 year period. It is with special pride that he returns for the second year in a row with the entire orchestra that he and his partner and wife, Buyun Zhao, have formed and nurtured from infancy over the last 25 years.
This concert is sponsored by the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and King County 4Culture.
