The second of our Well Being Concerts in partnership with Carnegie Hall Weill Music Institute, this event reimagines live performance as a source of comfort, connection, and mental restoration, highlighting the arts’ role in health and wellness, and the need for non-clinical mental health support.Grammy Award-winning American Roots artists Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer join Chinese classical hammered dulcimer player Chao Tian in a show that combines music from China, Appalachia, and beyond. Instrumentation includes the yangqin (Chinese hammered dulcimer), gourd banjo, five-string banjo, ukulele, guitars, dumbek, cello-banjo, and mandolin. Songs are performed in both English and Chinese.
From China to Appalachia was born from a friendship and a mutual love of musical exploration experienced through jam sessions that inspired a show highlighting the power of music to connect cultures. The group has performed together since 2017 and has toured extensively since 2023. The band’s first album, From China to Appalachia, reached No. 1 on the Folk Music radio charts and No. 3 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Charts.
This show is part of New Spire Arts’ programming. New Spire Stages, located in the heart of Downtown Frederick, MD, offers an intimate venue for a memorable concert experience.
