SUMMARY:U MN Dept. AMES presents Culture and Language Integration in Chinese and English Program
DESCRIPTION:Culture and Language Integration in Chinese and English (CLIC) \nSpring 2022 Operation \nThe CLA Language Center and the Department of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) at the University of Minnesota have joined forces to run a Culture and Language Integration in Chinese and English (CLIC) program since 2017. In this program\, we organize\, coordinate\, and conduct FREE weekly 90-minute conversation sessions for American high school students who studied in Chinese immersion schools and international students from China. We organize those two groups of students and turn each group’s native language to the other group’s resource. Participating students greatly enjoy the opportunities to practice and improve their target language with native speakers and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Over the last nine semesters\, more than 400 students have benefited from this program. \nMinnesota Public Radio learned about this program and reported it on NPR’s Morning Edition. Here is a link to the NPR report: \nhttps://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/12/02/program-pairs-chinese-english-language-learners \nEligibility\, Session Time\, Location\, and Contents \nThis program organizes American high school students who attended Chinese immersion schools for 6-8 years and U of MN students from China\, and coordinates weekly 90-minute immersion conversation sessions\, with 45 minutes in Chinese\, and 45 minutes in English. The purpose is for both groups of students to maintain and improve the proficiency level of their target language. We have developed twenty-two themes\, with one theme for each session. On each theme\, we have created around ten questions for students to discuss in depth various aspects of the theme. This program has moved online on the Zoom platform since the COVID-19 pandemic started. \nAny student who participates in ten (10) or more sessions in one semester is awarded a Certificate of Completion issued by the Dept. of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies and the CLA Language Center at the University of Minnesota. \nPlease note: In Spring 2022\, the conversation sessions in this program will be online. Here is the time and Zoom platform to participate in the conversation sessions: \nTime: 4:30-6:00pm every Thursday \nZoom link: https://umn.zoom.us/j/91381220703 \nMeeting ID: 913 8122 0703 \nContact Information: If you have any questions\, please contact Coordinator and Instructor\, Zhen Zou at zouxx009@umn.edu \n

SUMMARY:CAAM Chinese Dance Theater Presents Journey to Dunhuang

SUMMARY:University of Tennessee Presents Gao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo
DESCRIPTION:Heart To Heart – Live Stream Concert: Gao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo\nHost: AAPI committee and Office of Asia Engagement\nThis event is in partnership with the United States Heartland China Association (USHCA). Light refreshments will be provided. \nDate: Thursday\, October 7\, 2021\nLocation: Student Union\, 272C Ballroom\nTime: 3 – 5 pm \n\nRegister here! \n\nhttps://cge.utk.edu/oae/aapiconcert2021/\nGao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo presents “The Blending of Ancient Souls from Syria and China”\nSyrian oud master Issam Rafea and Chinese pipa master Gao Hong perform live compositions and improvisations blending Chinese and Arabic techniques in a performance titled “The Blending of Ancient Souls from Syria and China.” Since they never discuss what they will play in advance\, no two performances are ever the same. Each concert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience\, and audiences witness singular creations that come to life before their very eyes and ears – but are never to be repeated. They bring the instruments together for the kind of compelling duets that earned them two gold medals from the Global Music Awards for their 2020 From Our World to Yours album on the ARC Music label\, and two nominations for the 2019 Independent Music Awards for their debut album Life as Is. Songlines called their collaboration “consistently engaging\, deeply contemplative\, and culturally resonant.” Response from their recent performances at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington\, D.C.\, included: \n“You’ve changed my life\, opened my heart and spirit!” \n“I really was impressed to feel\, listen and watch you two creating something sublime\, full of joy and in a profound way\, capable of awakening the audience spiritually. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling like your music allowed all of us to transcend ourselves and be exceptionally present in those moments of creation.” \n“…you two move Kandinsky’s spiritual pyramid upwards…which is the true purpose of all art and artists.” \nAbout the Gao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo\n\n \nGao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo \n\nThe Duo has performed at the Smithsonian Institution\, Lotus Festival (Bloomington\, IN)\, Trinity Center for Urban Life in Philadelphia (for Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture)\, the Schubert Club (St. Paul)\, Music in the Chapel Concert Series (Minneapolis)\, the University of Maryland; Carleton College; St. Olaf College; St Paul College; The Cedar Cultural Center; Inn-Fest; Macalester College\, Riverside Concerts in Rochester\, Minnesota\, and at dozens of other venues throughout Minnesota. They were interviewed and featured on the MPR/NPR radio program All Things Considered; and on WCCO/CBS Radio’ s Steele Talkin’ with host Jearlyn Steele. This newly formed duo was also awarded a 2018 USArtists International Grant from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in the U.S. \nGao Hong and Issam Rafea met in 2017 at Carleton College while Gao Hong was teaching there and Issam Rafea was a residency artist. They bonded when first met and immediately committed to recording and performing together. Once in the recording studio\, they began improvising music that was so cohesive it seemed as if they had worked together for years. Both Issam and Gao Hong are wonderful composers\, and this helps each anticipate what the other will do in their live compositions. \nSince they only play improvisations\, no two performances are ever exactly the same\, and the Duo often creates instantaneous site-and audience-specific pieces to describe their immediate feelings and honor their audiences. 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 as well\, and the performances are ones that immigrants from any culture can enjoy and relate to. \n\n
