In the spirit of the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday, the New Haven Chinese Cultural Cooperative (NHCCC) is sharing music about the harvest moon and nostalgia, all played on traditional Chinese instruments. This concert is open to all ages — bring the whole family!

For lovers of literature, members of NHCCC will also present a bilingual poetry recitation about the season of fall, accompanied by the guzheng, a 21-string Chinese zither.  NHCCC members will act as your storytelling guides, with their personal stories and interesting facts about their instruments, making their sounds and music accessible for all to enjoy.  To quote one of its fans, “NHCCC is at its heart — the bond between art, people, and [their] connection to one another.”
