Calligraphy, Music & Mandarin Meetup – Your Monthly Cultural Escape (March)

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 the 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! The China Institute can’t wait to share this inspiring evening with you.
