March 6, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

On Friday, Feb. 24, Seattle’s Asian community and Classical music fans came together for the annual Celebrate Asia! concert.

Conducting the Seattle Symphony was Mei-Ann Chen. Master of Ceremonies was Mimi Gan. The event featured famed violinist Hahn-Bin, pipa player Jia Ma, and jazz group The Cuong Vu Group.

An original composition by Kay He, “Legends of Old Peking,” was also performed by the symphony.
