企城唐人街歷史音樂會

  黎華趙先生,硏究潮州音樂第一人，一生從事于中華民族音樂,他沒有找對自己的舞臺,最終博士沒有畢業 ,當了清潔工(他的人生故事,伊利華報刋登數次)今天他知道伊利華報報社搬到中國城。他樂意將自己珍藏的的中國民族樂器送給我,希望我能組織一群人學習民族樂器和民族文化藝術,這是一件特別大的喜事。

  十多年前我認識的一位十分熱愛中國民族樂器的David Badagnani,他也是負責克利夫蘭民族樂團的負責人。
    8月4日克利夫蘭民族樂團將在   Lakewood圖書館爲大家表演企城唐人街歷史音樂會,機會難得請大家不要錯過。
   黎華趙也是David多年朋友,希望大家能一起愉快地合作，實現黎華趙先生的心願。

Music of American Immigrants — Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble
企城唐人街歷史音樂會

2:00 p.m., Sunday, August 4, 2019
Main Library Auditorium
Lakewood Public Library
15425 Detroit Ave.
Lakewood, Ohio
Free and open to the public
For the final performance in the Friends of Lakewood Public Library's "Music of American Immigrants" series, the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble (featuring special guest Sifu Mark Lee Pringle) will explore the musical heritage of Cleveland, Ohio's Chinese community in a new multimedia presentation weaving together music, stories, archival photographs, audio, and video spanning 150 years of history.
Adding special historical resonance to this program, the ensemble's musicians (by the kind permission of Cleveland Chinatown Development LLC) will use several century-old musical instruments that have been preserved in the former headquarters of the Cleveland chapter of the On Leong Chinese Merchants Association in the historic Rockwell Avenue Chinatown neighborhood, recreating the vibrant sound of early Cantonese opera that was so beloved by Cleveland's first Chinese settlers.
Additionally, Cleveland historian Alan F. Dutka, the author of the 2014 book "AsiaTown Cleveland: From Tong Wars to Dim Sum" (which served as a great source of information and inspiration for this program) will be in attendance, and copies of his book will be available for purchase and signing.
The historic photographs featured this program are used courtesy of the Cleveland State University Archives Photo Collection and the Cleveland Public Library Photograph Collection.
