Based in New York City, this world-class ensemble introduces audiences to the best of Chinese music both past and present. Music From China was founded in 1984 by Executive Director Susan Cheng and performs for audiences throughout the east coast and cities across the U.S. Some of Music From China's presenters include the Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College, 92nd Street Y, Longwood Gardens, Princeton University, Eastman School of Music, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Duke University, Chautauqua Institution, Freer Gallery of Art with Yo-Yo Ma, Boston Early Music Festival, and the Library of Congress. Music From China collaborates with composers to develop new works that expand the boundaries of traditional Chinese music. Our annual Premiere Works series at Merkin Concert Hall has presented the music of composers such as Chen Yi, Zhou Long, Bun-Ching Lam, Dorothy Chang, and James Mobberley, as well as countless other works by emerging composers. We are the first Chinese organization to receive an Adventurous Programming award from Chamber Music America and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for creating unique programs that combine eastern and western music. Since 1986, Music From China has commissioned and performed over 100 new works by 62 composers and is a major contributor to the development of Chinese new music. CONCERTS
