China is a multiethnic nation, with 56 ethnic groups. Each group has its own unique culture and music. The Lecture-Recital aims to introduce these cultures and music to the Western world. It starts with a PowerPoint presentation, which is followed by a vocal performance with a brief introduction to each song. The recital introduces a dozen songs from some major ethnic groups. This unique presentation format lends itself to a very educational and entertaining experience.
I have given many lecture-recitals on “Chinese Ethinic Groups and Their Songs'' at different university campuses. On January 10, 2014, I was invited to give this lecture-recital at the Headquarters of the United Nations.
If you would like to learn more about the lecture-recital, I would be very happy to discuss it with you!
