Description

Dr. Chen collected folk songs from across many regions and cultures within China as part of her undergraduate studies in music at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing; she was the first woman to earn a master’s degree in composition from that conservatory. Dr. Chen went on to earn her doctorate from Columbia University in New York. She is currently a professor of composition at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. Sung by SCC Treble, Concert, and Tenor-Bass Choruses in "The Neon Lights Are Bright" concert, June 3, 2023.

SCC provides a pre-professional choral experience to students ages 7-18, from diverse backgrounds. Founded by Artistic Director Emeritus Christopher G. Guerra and led by Artistic Director Michael Wu, five performing ensembles promote self-expression in singers, celebrate the diverse musical traditions of our residents, and engage talented youth in joy-filled and uplifting music-making. SCC also performs with professional orchestras, other choral groups, and featured artists in ensemble performances, allowing Strathmore to provide a living, breathing, singing presence in our community. https://www.strathmore.org/community-education/strathmore-children-s-chorus/
