Mid-Autumn Festival: Music, Art and Cross-cultral Event 中西跨文化中秋节活动

Moonlight surround, our hearts abound.

On October 6, 2025, as we celebrate the traditional Chinese/Asian Mid-Autumn Festival, we warmly invite everybody to join us for a distinctive cultural event that bridges Eastern and Western traditions. The gathering will feature an engaging introduction to the historical legends of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a mooncake tasting, tea-tasting, moon gazing, and an appreciation of poetry from both easter and western traditions.

Adding a creative touch to the evening, Western melodies will be performed on Eastern instruments, while Eastern tunes will be rendered through Western instruments—offering a delightful contrast between the two cultures’ artistic interpretations of the moon.

This event is family-friendly and will feature a dedicated activity zone for children aged six and above, offering Mid-Autumn-themed Chinese and Western watercolor (or mixed-media collage) crafts and Chinese calligraphy, allowing participants to experience the joy of artistic creation.

《月华方萦绕， 心安家兴旺》
诗：香山小白 Samuel Bai

金风邀客海西滨，玉镜初悬照古今。

月饼凝香传故典，诗舟载韵中外情。

东方丝竹奏鸣曲，西洋管弦和清音。

莫问清辉分彼此，明月共鉴你我心。
