    Chinese Moon Festival Concert
    Samuelson Chapel
    Saturday, Sept. 28, 7:30 p.m.

    A Chinese Moon Festival Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, in Samuelson Chapel at California Lutheran University.

    The concert will include Chinese traditional music and western music performed by the Thousand Oaks Chinese Folk Ensemble, Pacific Pearl Symphony Orchestra, Dancing String Chamber, Yang Sheng Choir and others.

    The Chinese Moon Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is an important holiday in the Chinese culture that has been celebrated for thousands of years. Tradition holds that the moon is at its roundest and brightest on that day, signaling a time of completeness and abundance. It is a celebration of the harvest season and a day of family reunions, much like Thanksgiving in the United States. Traditionally, family and friends get together to admire the moon and eat moon cakes. The legend associated with the festival recounts the story of a beautiful woman named Chang E who flew to the moon and has lived there ever since.

    Samuelson Chapel is located south of Olsen Road near Campus Drive in Thousand Oaks.

    CLU’s Department of Languages and Cultures, Pacific Pearl Music Association and the Center for Asian Performing Arts are sponsoring the free concert.

    The program is appropriate for ages 8 to adult.
