An afternoon of joyful music to mark the change of the season for families of every generation.
Join us for Chinese Canadian folk music performed by the renowned Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble and award-winning Canadian folk singer Ginalina. This concert offers a unique remix of beloved traditional Chinese and Taiwanese melodies in new arrangements, offering a fresh take on timeless songs.
Ginalina brings her playful style to the stage singing with ukelele and guitar. She will be playing a set from her celebrated 2024 Juno-winning album “Going Back: Remembered and Remixed Family Folk Songs, Vol. 1,”
These songs captivated audiences with the evocative sounds of remembered pieces like “Jasmine Flower,” “Diu Diu Deng,” and “Gong Xi,” all reinterpreted with a West Coast twist and beautifully complemented by traditional Chinese instruments, Erhu (violin), suona (oboe) and Guzheng (zither).
The concert will be performed at the beautiful Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and brought to you by the Vancouver Chinese Instrumental Music Society. Perfect for families and music lovers of all generations, this concert celebrates the rich heritage of Chinese music while infusing it with the vibrant energy of Canadian folk traditions.
