Spring Flowers - Traditional Chinese Music Concert In-Person
The New Haven Chinese Culture Cooperative (NHCCC), a traditional Chinese music ensemble, will present "Spring Flowers," a curated program exploring the significance of nature in traditional Chinese music. Featuring everything from regional folk tunes to popular songs, the performance highlights the rich musical traditions of the Chinese-speaking world.
Guided by a narrator, the audience will also meet Chinese traditional instruments such as the erhu (Chinese fiddle), guzheng (ancient zither), sheng (mouth organ), and more. Attendees are invited to stay after the performance for a closer look at the instruments.
This program is offered in connection with Asian American Pacific Islander Month (AAPI) sponsored by donations from NHCCC’s annual fundraiser - The Great Give 2025, as well as by the Friends of the Hamden Library.
The New Haven Chinese Cultural Cooperative (NHCCC) is a community-based traditional Chinese music ensemble established just over two years ago. Since their debut, NHCCC has performed and hosted workshops at various Connecticut schools, libraries, and major events, including Artwalk, the International Festival of Arts and Ideas, and Lunarfest. While the members come from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds, they have found a common language in music, aiming to foster cultural awareness throughout Connecticut.
