Chinese New Year Celebration: The Ancient Music Orchestra of Xi’an International University
A stirring journey through China’s Tang Dynasty ceremonial, court, and folk musical traditions.
Join us for a rare U.S. appearance by the Ancient Music Orchestra of Xi’an International University (XAIU), an ensemble devoted to preserving and reimagining the sounds of China’s historic capitals. Drawing from Xi’an Drum Music—a UNESCO‑recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage—this performance blends traditional instruments with powerful percussion and refined musical structure to create an immersive, time‑spanning musical experience.
