China Now Music Festival

The China Now Music Festival is dedicated to promoting an understanding and appreciation of classical music from contemporary China through an annual series of concerts and lectures. Each year’s festival explores a singular theme. The US-China Music Institute of the Bard College Conservatory of Music and the Central Conservatory of Music, China, present the 2022 China Now Music Festival, “East of West”, in celebration of our first five years of partnership and collaboration. This year’s festival features five major symphonic and operatic concerts held in New York City and in Upstate New York. Exciting new and rarely heard musical selections highlight the cross-currents between China and the West, both in contemporary classical music and in artistic movements of the recent past.
