The University of Southampton Confucius Institute in partnership with Winchester School of Art invites you to celebrate the Year of the Dragon at our Chinese New Year Gala‚ featuring Weinan Teachers’ University Art Troupe. Entry is free, but you are strongly advised to book in advance by contacting the Theatre Royal box office on 01962 840440.
Twenty talented performers from Weinan in north western China will come to showcase the dazzling talents which have seen them win awards at both provincial and national levels in mainland China.
Performances include traditional and modern Chinese music, song and dance, Peking opera, Chinese martial arts, calligraphy, and musical instrument pieces. A magical performance promising fun for all the family!
The Gala is the first major public event organised by the Confucius Institute (CI) since its official opening in October 2011. Chinese New Year provides the perfect opportunity to launch our effort to promote the understanding of China through language and culture and build a network of Chinese language learners in Hampshire.
