Our concert highlights the theme of “Youth." We are trying to express our appreciation of the youthfulness that UCLA students present.

We created mashups of Chinese songs as well as crossover music out of distinct genres. Occidental and oriental elements are combined to present our experiment in a multi-cultural performance.

Behind the Music of 'Green Book' with Kris Bowers
From the event description:
We’re all familiar with director’s commentaries as bonus material on DVDs, but how often do you get to hear a composer’s commentary, especially on a film as rich in musical traditions and detail as the Oscar-winning "Green Book?" Join us for an insightful look behind the masterpiece that weaves the score of composer Kris Bowers along with immaculate re-creations of the works of jazz pianist Don Shirley. We’ll step through the movie looking at the diegetic and non-diegetic music, and how the many pieces were woven together to produce this history-making film.
When: Saturday, May 25, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Where: Vitello's Italian Restaurant, 4349 Tujunga Ave.
