On September 11, the Dallas Huayun Chinese Orchestra gave a free concert at UTD in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the third anniversary of the CAS. The director of the orchestra, Daniel Chen, returns for an Asian Culture Forum this Saturday! Director Chen will be discussing and demonstrating the traditional Chinese instruments that were featured in the concert. Come join us and learn more about it!
Daniel Chen began studying the Erhu since his childhood with Mr. Wang, Shu-Sheng, a famous Erhu master and composer. Chen has been a professional Erhu, Gaohu, and Jinghu string performer with the Chinese Music Group prior to coming to the United States.
Chen graduated from Medical University of Heilongjiang Province, China, and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for more than 20 years in the United States until his retirement. In his spare time, he is an avid participant in community services, education and performances. He has been teaching Erhu since 2008 and won "Outstanding Artist Mentor of 2022" for the Texas Folklife Apprenticeship Program.
Currently Chen is the Erhu player, and the artistic director of Dallas Huayun Chinese Orchestra. He is interested in how to use the special ways of music to heal people from a variety of anxiety and mental illnesses.
