Come to the Library to celebrate the The Mid-Autumn Festival (also called Moon Festival). This festival is one of the most important events in the Chinese calendar, taking place each September when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.
The Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble will be on hand to perform a program of melodious Chinese music, with pieces composed over the span of a thousand years. Instruments include dizi (bamboo flute), sheng (17-pipe mouth organ), pipa (lute), guzheng (21-string zither), zhonghu (2-stringed fiddle), gongs, and drums, and the classically trained vocalist Xue "Snow" Yu of Qingdao, China will join the ensemble for several songs.
Right after the concert, enjoy some "mooncakes" (a Mid-Autumn Festival delicacy) and then sample the fine Chinese black tea.
