Join us for a vibrant celebration of music, migration, and the remarkable stories that connect us all.
On its thrilling second night in Chapel Hill, the Orchestra dives deep into migration stories and the complexities of its own global history. To open the evening, acclaimed guzheng player Wu Fei and oud master Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz join the Orchestra for Hello Gold Mountain, Wu’s requiem for the lost possibilities of the Jewish community in Shanghai.
