Calligraphy, Music & Mandarin Meetup – Your Monthly Cultural Escape
Calligraphy, Music & Mandarin Meetup – Your Monthly Cultural Escape
Calligraphy, Music & Mandarin Meetup – Your Monthly Cultural Escape Step into a beautiful evening where art, music, and language come alive. Each month, experience captivating live performances featuring some of China’s most iconic instruments — from the graceful guqin (古琴) to the ethereal, harp-like konghou (箜篌) and the lush, harmonizing sheng (笙)— performed by talented musicians who bring these ancient sounds to life. As music fills the room, slow down and immerse yourself in the serene practice of Chinese calligraphy, guided by a master calligrapher. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, you’ll receive hands-on guidance — all materials (ink, paper, brushes) are provided. Want to practice Mandarin? Join our Mandarin Language Table during intermission for a fun, relaxed conversation with support from our language instructors. Enjoy tea and light refreshments, meet fellow culture lovers, and experience a unique night of art and connection in the heart of NYC! No experience is needed — just bring your curiosity! We can’t wait to share this inspiring evening with you.

Truth Be Told, Black History is...
Truth Be Told, Black History is...
Truth Be Told: Black History Is…is a rich, celebratory journey through dance, music, and generational memory—honoring the wisdom of our elders while nourishing the dreams of those who come after them. At a time when dominant narratives attempt to flatten the Black experience into a single story, our elders step forward as storytellers and guides. Their stories become roadmaps. Their victories become lessons. And their presence offers direction for the generations rising behind them. Truth Be Told: Black History Is… invites audiences to remember, reflect, and leave renewed—carrying forward a legacy that refuses to be boxed in and continues to rise.
