Chamberfest Asia
Chamberfest Asia 2013 is a performance tour and GSL - Global Service Learning Winterim course, which involves a cross-cultural experience to explore and showcase chamber and choral music by Asian and Western composers in the sacred, classical and folk genres. It also aims to serve and enrich the local communities by sharing the gift of music. The format is a multi-city music ministry performance and cultural enrichment tour to the countries of Hong Kong, Macau, China, and Korea. The participants are advanced performers and composers, selected by interview and audition. Other than performance, assignments include research and reading on these cultures and their music, as well as speaking in concerts. As we travel and perform in different parts of Asia, affluent cities and developing areas, our goal will be to share our hearts and culture through the musical gifts and talents that God has blessed us with. The theme song that we have chosen for this trip is Jesus Loves Me, which may seem simple, but it has great meaning to us as a chamber group.
