Celebration Summary
The Lunar New Year Celebration was a splendid tribute to the rich tapestry of our past, present, and future, and each one of you played a pivotal role in its success. With Yue Bao leading the orchestra as conductor and Tony Siqi Yun's mesmerizing piano performance, the evening was filled with enchanting melodies and cultural richness. The enchanting performances by the Peking University Alumni Chorus, the captivating moves of the Edison Chinese School Lion Dance Team, and the exquisite music by the New Jersey Symphony added layers of brilliance to the celebration.
It was also a delight to witness the Pre-Concert Festival, featuring a wide range of performances curated by the Eastern Cultural Exchange Association and wonderful crafting stations curated by the Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Center. As we ushered in the Year of the Dragon, we are reminded of the profound significance it holds—a symbol of power, prosperity, and good fortune.
