Performers
CSME Honor's Ensemble: Christine Phung, Alvina Cheung and
Garyan Wong
China's Spirit Music Ensemble
(CSME) is founded and directed by Wei Hou, Chinese Wind Instrumentalist,
and Winnie Wong, guzheng soloist. This partnership traveled
from opposite ends of the world and united in America. Wei
Hou was given his talent and training in Beijing, China and
Winnie Wong was given her training right here in San Francisco,
California. Though provided their knowledge and experiences
from different parts of the world, they share the same drive
and passion in their culture and music. Their dream is to share
and promote cultural experiences through performing arts, give
back to the community and share with the world what they are
so fortunately humbled with - their love and passion for music.
Through the past five years, CSME’s hard work has earned them much recognition
in the world or performing arts. Their students have been invited to perform
for corporate functions, educational events, festivals and the annual Youth Arts
Festival which selects their performing groups through audition only. Their performance
and discipline on and off stage has earned them a respected place in the public’s
heart. Their members are diverse in age, culture and experience,
however through the training of Winnie Wong, they are united
through their passion for beautiful music.
