Come to beautiful Southampton and celebrate the 2017 Chinese Lunar New Year – the Year of the Rooster -and the dazzling arts of Asia. The program opens at 3pm with the beating of the drums, the clashing of the cymbals and the resounding gongs, all of which herald the infamous Lion Dance. That will be followed by four (free) workshops for children including face painting, calligraphy, henna painting and brush painting. From 5 to 6pm there will be a live performance onstage in the theater by professional singers, dancers and instrumentalists representing China, Japan, India and Okinawa. Admission to the stage performance is $20 for adults. Students under 21 with ID and children attend at no charge. The celebration ends with “A Taste of Asia” from 6-7pm, a complimentary food reception where guests will meet the artists and sample delicious, authentic cuisine.
