​What does it mean to carry your whole world across an ocean?

​The Joy Luck Trio — pipa, erhu, and piano — makes their New York debut right here in Flushing, Queens: birthplace of one of their own, and the first American home for generations of immigrants who arrived with hope in their hands.

​This is not "East meets West." It is something rarer — traditions in conversation across centuries, across silence, across everything lost and everything carried forward.

​One evening. Three extraordinary women. Nine works spanning ancient folk melody, Hollywood legend, and a GRAMMY-recognized composer's newest creation.

​The Artists

​Gao Hong (Pipa) — 2026 Global Music Awards Gold Medalist · GRAMMY U Mentor Composer of Flying Dragon and Nostalgia — performed tonight in their New York premiere. Her album Symphony of Self was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the United States Marine Band..

​Karen Han (Erhu) — The voice behind Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha, Kung Fu Panda, and The Joy Luck Club. A musician who has performed for world leaders — and tonight, for you.

​Donna Weng Friedman (piano) — Composer, pianist, filmmaker, and Flushing native. Her award-winning short film Never Fade Away — the story of her father's immigrant journey, brought to life through a waltz and a radio — is the emotional heart of this evening.

​"In a world where immigrant stories are increasingly discounted, the Joy Luck Trio offers something urgent and real — artists who don't just belong, but redefine what belonging looks like."

​Come for the music. Stay for what it unlocks in you.
An evening that moves, lingers, and honors every journey — seen and unseen — that brought us here.

​Dress code: Cultural or festive attire is encouraged.


​跨越山海,究竟带走了什么,又留下了什么?

​Joy Luck Trio 喜福三韵,以琵琶、二胡、钢琴,在法拉盛迎来她们的纽约首演。这里是成员的故乡,也是无数移民踏上美国土地的第一站。

​这不是"东方遇见西方",而是更珍贵的相遇——传统与传统跨越百年,轻声回应彼此;失去的与带来的,在同一个夜晚相聚。

​一个夜晚。三位卓越的女性音乐家。九首作品,跨越民间古曲、好莱坞传奇与格莱美认可作曲家的当代新作。

​高虹 Gao Hong(琵琶)— 2026年全球音乐奖金奖得主 · 格莱美U导师 今晚,她带来自己创作的《飞龙》与《乡愁》——纽约首演。专辑《Symphony of Self》曾与英国皇家爱乐乐团、美国海军陆战队乐队联合录制。

​韩华琦 Karen Han(二胡)—— 《卧虎藏龙》《艺伎回忆录》《功夫熊猫》《喜福会》……好莱坞经典配乐背后的那把二胡,就是她。曾在多国领导人面前演奏,今晚,她在法拉盛为你演奏。

​翁维亚 Donna Weng Friedman(钢琴)—— 生于法拉盛的作曲家、钢琴家与电影人,获奖短片《Never Fade Away》是本场演出的核心:一封写给父亲的情书,以一台收音机和一支华尔兹,记录了父亲在纽约的移民岁月。献给在纽约默默扎根的第一代移民。

​“在移民故事日渐被忽视的时代,Joy Luck Trio 带来了真切而迫切的力量 —— 她们不仅找到了归属,更重新定义了归属的模样。”

​为音乐而来,为它唤醒你的瞬间而停留。这个夜晚,将触动你、留在你心底,并向每一段让我们走到这里的旅程致敬。

​着装推荐:具有文化特色或节日氛围的服装。
