Camille Yeung will perform a selection of popular Cantonese opera arias. Free with no RSVP required.

This program is co-presented with the Elizabeth Street Garden.

INTERWOVEN is an intercultural ensemble which celebrates and integrates traditional Asian music and Western classical music through performing, commissioning, and recording contemporary works. Exploring the time-honored soundscapes of Asia and Europe, INTERWOVEN weaves together musical and artistic threads that represent diverse origins, traditions, and materials to create something holistic. By intertwining unique Asian perspectives and aesthetics into its artistic and organizational work, INTERWOVEN encourages union between various American communities through the Asian culture’s emphasis on organic inclusion and harmony; a principle that is needed in this time of division. 

Founder and GRAMMY Award winning violinist, Keiko Tokunaga, brings together seasoned musicians who have played the likes of Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Radio City Music Hall, and their equivalents in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. Members are passionate advocates for the importance of music in social, personal, and political developments, and devote much of their time to teaching and educational outreach.
