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.
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。
韩华奇 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。
