Programs

ECPAC is a one-stop professional, creative and flexible service center that can meet all your Chinese Music needs.

Whether you want to take a one-on-one private lesson or join others for a group lesson; whether your school is interested in on-site workshops, lectures or a "sampling" concert for its students or whether your organization requires a formal concert, we can do it all -- with some of the best musicians available in this country.

Here are some of our ongoing programs:


1)    Performance Programs

a.        Concert
Our full roster of musicians performs works of classical, traditional, folk, and contemporary Chinese music. In addition to strictly Chinese instruments, we sometimes partner with Western musicians, combining the best of both traditions, including instrumental solos, duets, trios, quartets, ensembles, or solo recitals.

b.        Recording
Our experienced musicians have recorded for many movies, TV episodes, commercial advertisements, or TV and radio stations' music programs. CDs are available through the Center.

c.       Entertainment
The Center's musicians also play at corporate conferences, company parties, Asian Heritage ceremonies, professional associations and annual meetings.

b.        Lecture
Our experience has shown that the lecture format is the most effective way to teach most audiences about the beauty and uniqueness of Chinese music as well as its far-reaching impact on Asian music history. To this end, we offer formal lectures on Chinese music at the location of your choice to students from high school through University level. Our on-site musical instrument performances and demonstrations, coupled with our knowledgeable and interactive lectures, have taught thousands of Americans the artistic appeal of Chinese Music.

c.        Workshops / Demonstration
While lectures do much to convey the beauty and uniqueness of Chinese music, nothing succeeds like a hands-on workshop or even an actual performance with the simpler Chinese instruments. This is a key part of our Arts-in-Education program and no doubt the fastest and most effective method for students to learn about Chinese culture & music.
