SUMMARY:Life As Is: The blending of Ancient Souls from Syria and China
DESCRIPTION:Syrian Oud Master Issam Rafea and Chinese Pipa Master Gao Hong to release Life As Is: The Blending of Ancient Souls from Syria and China April 25th at The Cedar \nMinneapolis\, MN: Syrian oud master Issam Rafea and Chinese pipa master Gao Hong will perform at The Cedar Cultural Center Center for the release of their new album Life As Is: The Blending of Ancient Souls from Syria on Wednesday\, April 25th\, 2018. \nIssam Rafea and Gao Hong instantly bonded when first met\, and immediately committed to recording and performing together. Their music sounds both ancient and strikingly modern at the same time. It is neither Chinese nor Arabic\, but something fresh and new that only they can produce. Both musicians are immigrants\, and seek to create performances that immigrants from any culture can enjoy and relate to. \nSince they only play improvisations\, no two performances from the duo are ever exactly the same. In concerts\, they ask for titles from audience members and then create instantaneous site-and audience-specific pieces based on the suggested titles.  \nBoth Issam’s instrument\, the Arabic lute called the oud\, and Gao Hong’s instrument\, the Chinese four-stringed lute called the pipa\, originated from the same ancient instrument – the Persian barbat. Though the pipa has been altered considerably throughout its 2000-year history\, it originally resembled the 5\,000-year old oud and is thought to have been introduced to China through the Silk Road.  \nTheir new album Life As Is: The Blending of Ancient Souls from Syria will be released worldwide by Innova in May\, 2018. CDs will be available for purchase at The Cedar show.  \nVIDEO: https://vimeo.com/245846344

SUMMARY:MSP FIlmSociety Presents Have a Nice Day
DESCRIPTION:After his fiance’s botched plastic surgery\, Xiao Zhang decides to take drastic measures to help her correct it and steals a case containing over a million yuan ($150\,000 in US dollars) belonging to his boss\, a local mobster. Word about the missing case reaches the mobster\, Uncle Liu\, and off we go on a heart-pounding race to get the money back. This turns out to be easier said than done when Xiao Zhang himself gets robbed! \nDirector Liu Jian gives us a tour of China’s underworld and the odd characters that inhabited it in this edgy\, vividly drawn animated thriller.  Xiao Zhang’s descent into the worst night of his life is starkly rendered into a modern noir via animation\, which is filled with suspicious characters who find themselves caught in absurdity rather than looking for a road beyond the darkness. \nChinese animator and film director Liu Jian began his career in 1995\, and has since become a well-known name in the industry\, eventually going on to found the Le-joy Animation Studio in 2007. Based in Nanjing\, his first turn as a director was in 2010 with the film Piercing I. \nFilm Space\, Founders Hall\, Metro State UniversityWed\, Apr 18 9:00 PM \nSt. Anthony Main Theatre 2Sun\, Apr 22 9:50 PM \n  \nFor more information: https://prod3.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=363627~163a5c15-c3ae-4635-ba12-bbe995cbeb29&epguid=6a267806-cc78-4ea9-a89a-7d6b1a83dc49&

SUMMARY:The Path A Buddhist Cantata by Justin Merritt
DESCRIPTION:St. Olaf College Ole Arts presents at Orchestra Hall: The Path\, a concert-length cantata based on texts from the Pali Canon\, the most ancient Buddhist scriptures. This world premiere\, conducted by Steven Amundson\, will feature performances by over 300 musicians\, including the St. Olaf Choir\, St. Olaf Orchestra\, St. Olaf Chapel Choir\, and soloists Tracey Engleman\, Tammy Hensrud\, and Alan Dunbar. \nFrom composer Justin Merritt: For 2500 years\, Buddhist monks and nuns have chanted the dhamma\, the teachings of the Buddha\, in Pali\, the ancient language of Buddhism. The Path is a setting of 28 of these texts\, taken from the oldest collection of Buddhist texts. It includes deep statements of philosophy like The Fire Sermon\, which T. S. Eliot called the Sermon on the Mount for Buddhists. It has touching stories of the early monks and nuns\, like Bhadda\, who gave up everything to search for enlightenment. It has inspiring poetry like the Metta Sutta which is recited by school kids across Sri Lanka. I spent 7 years translating and setting each of these texts for the St. Olaf Choir\, St. Olaf Orchestra\, St. Olaf Chapel Choir and soloists. The music ranges from dense and dissonant to lovely and innocent\, from simple to fiercely challenging. It ends with a testament to the power of joy. \nPlease note:  This event is approximately 90 minutes and performed without an intermission.  A pre-concert talk with composer Justin Merritt will precede the event at 1:00pm.  \n爱好音乐的孩子和父母欢迎参加， 不可错过的机会。 三百多圣欧拉夫音乐系音乐人倾情演出，集声乐，管弦乐，打击乐，用现代古典音乐（modern classical music)演绎早期佛教的故事. 作品全篇28章。 下午一点是作曲家座谈会，爱好音乐演奏或作曲的小朋友可以与作曲家互动。 \n\n音乐会具体信息及门票购买请看这儿：http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/buy/tickets/browse-calendar/eventdetail/1111/-/the-path-a-buddhist-oratorio

SUMMARY:MSP Film Society Presents Angels Wear White
DESCRIPTION:In Vivian Qu’s Angels Wear White\, the voice of the ‘young woman’ takes center stage against a backdrop of a dismissive society. \nXiaomi\, a motel cleaner\, watches as a district commissioner checks in alongside two young girls\, Xiaowen and Xin Xin. On the surveillance monitor\, Xiaomi sees the commissioner push his way into the girls’ room and records the event with her smartphone. As the girls assault slowly comes to light\, Xiaomi’s story does little good for the girls as they face their unconcerned families and a society that would rather put the blame the victim. While Xaiowen’s mother is convinced the girl was inviting the assault\, Xin Xin’s parents are likewise coerced\, even agreeing to a deal in exchange for not pressing charges. \nDirector Vivian Qu is fearless in her all too true-to-life portrayal of violence against women and how both law and society so often fail to act. \n  \nChinese film director and producer Vivian Qu’s directional debut Trap Street (‘13) premiered to high praise at the 71st Venice Film Festival. Since then\, Vivian has produced Longing for the Rain (‘13) and Black Coal\, Thin Ice (‘14). Angels Wear White (‘17) marks her second feature as both writer and director. \n  \nSun\, Apr 22 1:45 PM \nWed\, Apr 25 2:15 PM \n  \nFor more information: https://prod3.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=363191~163a5c15-c3ae-4635-ba12-bbe995cbeb29&epguid=6a267806-cc78-4ea9-a89a-7d6b1a83dc49&

SUMMARY:MSP Film Society Presents Dead Pigs
DESCRIPTION:Good fortune goes south in Dead Pigs\, which\, true to its title\, starts off with the sudden and unexpected deaths of a large percentage of the swine population. Set in Shanghai\, the residents of the affected city (including a beauty salon owner\, an American architect and a pig farmer’s son) are less curious about what may be causing the epidemic than focused on the uncertain direction of their own lives. \nThe lives of our central characters intersect—and clash—as the epidemic gets worse\, and we as an audience are along for the ride in a colorful\, bustling city that is accompanied by the occasional musical number. Utilizing the talents of a multinational\, multi-generational cast\, Cathy Yan’s energetic comedy about culture\, class and extraordinary situations seamlessly alternates between humor and reflection on the current state of modern China without ever missing a beat. \nGrowing up\, filmmaker Cathy Yan lived in both Hong Kong and Washington\, D.C. She earned her MFA from the Tisch Schools of Arts Film Program. Her script for Dead Pigs (‘17) was a Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab Finalist and earned a place on the Purple List. \nSat\, Apr 21 4:30 PM \nTue\, Apr 24 4:20 PM \nFri\, Apr 27 4:30 PM \nFor more information: https://prod3.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=363636~163a5c15-c3ae-4635-ba12-bbe995cbeb29&epguid=6a267806-cc78-4ea9-a89a-7d6b1a83dc49&

SUMMARY:MSP Film Society Presents Mainland
DESCRIPTION:Miao Wang’s second feature documentary Maineland follows two teenage high school students from China who arrive at Fryeburg Academy in Maine looking forward to the 2012 fall semester and the prospect of future admission to U.S. universities. The students\, Zhu Xinyi who goes by Stella and He Junru who goes by Harry\, navigate through a new cultural environment with two different approaches—Stella joins the cheerleading team and gains friends\, and Harry\, a talented pianist\, turns his focus to his music. Fluent in English and coming from well-off families\, Stella and Harry find the adjustment to small town Maine to be more difficult than expected. \nBoth a commentary on the complexities of the education system and a story of adolescence\, Wang’s documentary is most importantly about Stella and Harry\, two young people who navigate the ever-changing world of education\, social dynamics and culture to build their own futures in this Maineland. \nNew York based director Miao Wang is a multidisciplinary filmmaker and artist whose work includes art design\, web design\, and illustration. She graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2005 and turned to non-fiction filmmaking\, earning accolades from her work as both artist and director. Maineland is her second-feature film. \nThu\, Apr 19 7:15 PM \nSat\, Apr 21 11:50 AM \nFor more information: https://prod3.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=363629~163a5c15-c3ae-4635-ba12-bbe995cbeb29&epguid=6a267806-cc78-4ea9-a89a-7d6b1a83dc49&

SUMMARY:MSP Film Society Presents Mrs. Fang
DESCRIPTION:A portrait of death told through the eyes of Mrs. Fang and her surrounding family\, director Wang Bing’s film chronicles the inevitable through an unfiltered gaze\, daring not to look away as an elderly woman inches closer to death. Concerning the film’s subject\, director Wang’s vision is unclouded by the oft-used cinematic gloss or mystique. Our gaze is tied closely and unflinchingly to Mrs. Fang. We watch as her lips recede\, her eyes glaze and her family lingers near her bedside. \nThe film\, while uncomfortable—and even unnerving\, implores audiences to witness a reality of life that is too often overlooked\, hidden or obscured. Through his observational style\, Wang illustrates the universal truth of our mortality. \nDIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY\nWang Bing\, born in Xi’an\, China\, is the most well-known documentary filmmaker working in China today. His feature-documentary debut\, West of the Tracks (’03) screened at TIFF and he has since produced numerous films\, including The Ditch (’10)\, Three Sisters (’12)\, ‘Till Madness Do Us Part (13) and Ta’ang (’16). \nMon\, Apr 16 5:10 PM \nFri\, Apr 20 2:10 PM \nFor more information: https://prod3.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=364057~163a5c15-c3ae-4635-ba12-bbe995cbeb29&epguid=6a267806-cc78-4ea9-a89a-7d6b1a83dc49&

DESCRIPTION:Four Tibetan youths from a school for the blind hear of an opportunity to perform in a “China’s Got Talent” reality TV competition. Running off with their instruments and a sack of pears\, the young blind musicians flee their small village on the Tibetan plateau\, knowing it’s their only chance to pursue their dreams. \nOn a journey through snow-capped mountains and rolling countryside\, the kids must get to Lhasa to catch a flight to the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. Guided by 10-year-old classmate Thupten\, who still has sight in one eye (although increasingly impaired by cataracts)\, the traveling band encounters nomads\, a biker gang\, and a TV producer who all play roles in the youths’ odyssey. When the kids face the high stakes of performing before the world\, they find their struggle to prove themselves has only just begun. Based on true events. \nRecommended for ages 9+ \nZhang Wei studied directing at the Beijing Film Academy as well as cinema studies at the Chinese National Academy of Arts. He has directed five features\, including Beijing Dream (‘10) and Shadow(‘11)\, both of which received acclaim from critics. His third feature Factory Boss (‘14) won the Fajr Award for Best Original Screenplay at the Fajr International Film Festival. \nSun\, Apr 15 12:00 PM \nSun\, Apr 22 2:00 PM \nFor more information: https://prod3.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=363631~163a5c15-c3ae-4635-ba12-bbe995cbeb29&epguid=6a267806-cc78-4ea9-a89a-7d6b1a83dc49&

SUMMARY:17th Annual Bob and Kim Griffin Building U.S.-China Bridges Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: “China in the New Era: What Lies Ahead? Mega Shifts in China and Strategic Implications” \nHaving come from poverty to upper-middle-income status\, China now finds itself at a cross-road. It’s a classic case of what got you here won’t get you there. Could China get stuck in a middle-income trap and fail to fulfill the grand dream of becoming a rich global power? Could China undertake the challenging reforms in political and economic governance? What mega-shifts will take place in the coming decade in China? What geopolitical repercussions might arise from China’s increasingly proactive stance (such as the Belt & Road Initiative) on global affairs? \nHow China will change between now and 2030 will affect companies in every industry worldwide. Haiyan Wang will take an inside-out and outside-in look at the major shifts – demographic\, social\, economic\, political and geopolitical – and their strategic implications. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Haiyan Wang is Managing Partner of the China India Institute\, a Washington D.C.-based research and advisory organization with a focus on the transformational rise of emerging markets\, foremost China and India\, and implications for key stakeholders. She has also been an Adjunct Professor of Strategy at INSEAD. Haiyan writes frequently for Harvard Business Review and has also been a columnist for Bloomberg Businessweek. \n  \nFree and open to the public.
