Chinese Ensemble Performances for Chinese New Year 2019

Every year during Chinese New Year period, we would get lots of enquires from corporates and individuals to engage our EM ensemble to perform. Traditional Chinese instruments playing Chinese New Year songs totally gives a festive feel to the event.
