Orchid Pavilion Gathering

China Institute Gallery cordially invites you to our
3rd Annual Orchid Pavilion Gathering

Orchid Pavilion Gatherings are held every spring at China Institute to celebrate and encourage artistic inspiration in the spirit of Wang Xizhi's（307-365）famous gathering with his poet friends on Mount Kuaiji.This year's theme is现代样板戏, or the eight Model Revolutionary Operas. These operas were created during the Cultural Revolution（1966-1976） to entertain workers, peasant and soldiers. We will be screening clips from these operas, and special guest Ms. Qi Shufang 齐淑芳, a master of opera, will perform a short section of智取威虎山 [Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy] at 1:00PM. Ms. Qi played the major role, "Xiao Changbao"小常宝.

This is a rare opportunity to learn about Revolutionary Operas and meet a renowned opera performer, as well as your last chance to view the exhibition "Mao's Golden Mangoes and the Cultural Revolution" before it closes!
