[CHATTER] [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [NON-ENGLISH SINGING] [APPLAUSE] [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] OK. Good evening, ladies
and gentlemen. [APPLAUSE] If you happened to be in this
hall exactly one year ago, you would remember 20
people gathered on stage. And today, as you can see,
we have 50-something people, including myself on stage. And this growth will not
be as [I
NAUDIBLE] something to be proud of. But this would not be possible
without your generous support, including just being here
and watching our concert. It really means a lot to us. Most of our students
are not music majors and specializing in
their instruments. Some of the members when they
come to this country they don't know that 10 years
later, they'll pick up their instrument ever again. And some other ones when they
pick up their violin and cello and in three years, they don't
know that one d
ay they'll be playing in the
Chinese Music Ensemble. So this is really
a magical group. And so I'll just say, thank
you so much for being here. And we really do
know that there are people who care about our
music, and the way we make music is really important to us. And if you want to
support us even further, there is a QR code at
the back of your program. And if you scan it, it will the
link to our Eventbrite page. There you can either choose
to donate or follow us so that you'll get the latest
update for future concerts. And also if you
play any instrument, not limited to
Chinese instruments. You can join us starting next
semester, starting tomorrow. [APPLAUSE] So the second half
of the concert you'll hear seven other symphonies. That's why every of our
member has something colorful including myself [INAUDIBLE]. Please hold your
applause until you hear all of a sudden movement
without counting all of us. But without further ado,
here's seven other symphonies. [APPLAUSE] [ORCHESTRAL M

audience member on stage. Thank you for your understanding
because we need to clear up the stage very quickly. If you want to meet
one of our performers please meet them
outside that door. Thank you so much. [CHATTER]
