Friends of Portland Chinatown is proud to present an outdoor multicultural concert on Davis Festival Street featuring performances by Yat Sing Music Club, Portland Cello Project, Third Angle New Music Ensemble, Classical Revolution PDX, Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, Matt Sheehy, and en Taiko. Yat Sing Music Club is a private music club that is normally not open to the public. "Music Under the Autumn Moon" presents a rare opportunity for Portlanders to see a live Cantonese opera performed by Yat Sing . It also provides unique cultural exchange opportunities between Yat Sing and artists from outside of the Chinese community performing at the event. A pre-concert community potluck will take place at the Main Hall of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (317 NW Davis) from 6-8pm. Dishes will be provided by Chinese restaurants in Portland. Music Under the Autumn Moon will take place around the Mid-Autumn Moon holiday, which is the second largest holiday for the Chinese. In the spirit of sharing food, music, and mooncakes, this community event celebrates both the Mid-Autumn Moon holiday and Yat Sing Music Club's 68th anniversary.
