US-China Music Institute's Conference on Chinese Music in the West Featured in China Daily 

The US-China Music Institute's eighth annual conference on Chinese Music in the West was highlighted in China Daily. The three-day program brought together renowned guzheng masters from China, musicians from across North America, and young student performers for a gathering of artistic exchange, collaboration, and performance. The event culminated in a special performance by the Gu Zheng Tianxia Ensemble, held at Olin Hall at the Bard College Conservatory of Music, which featured 40 guzheng players, “their sound flowing as one and filling the hall with a powerful, continuous wave of music,” writes China Daily. The guzheng, one of China's most recognizable traditional instruments, has become increasingly popular in China and the West as musicians explore new techniques and forms of innovation while maintaining the instrument’s traditional character, said Cai Jindong, director of the US-China Music Institute.
