“A Journey to China” Chinese Youth Arts Festival will be held May 28, 2006, at Fort Mason Center’s Cowell Theater. The Cowell Theater is located at Fort Mason Center, Marina Boulevard at Buchanan Street, San Francisco.

“A Journey to China” Chinese Youth Arts Festival features the music and performing arts students from Alice Fong Yu Alternative School in San Francisco performing Chinese music, percussion, dance, brush painting, martial arts, lion dancing, and more! Combining direct documentary film footage shot by this year’s 8th Graders’ visit to China with special sets and lighting design, master Chinese artists from different disciplines work together with these young artists to create a highly original multi-dimensional stage performance.

The event is part of the Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest is an annual professional youth concert series produced by Door Dog Music Productions that integrates young artists ages 5-17 into a larger cross-cultural community of world music masters and youth audiences. By bringing together multi-generations of artists and families, the Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest provides a professional performing arena for young people to experience cultural awareness through traditional music, while building tolerance and respect for different cultures and peoples of the world, as well as the pluralistic social perspectives necessary to work across cultural differences.

The Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest 2006 is produced by Door Dog Music Productions in association with the Alice Fong Yu Alternative School, the Asian Art Museum, and the Fort Mason Foundation.
