a. Host and organize the Young Musician Festival and Competition every two years in the past fifteen years. Some of the grand prize winners are pursuing their dreams at The Juilliard School.
b. Host and organize the annual Lunar New Year celebration and Harvest Moon Festival at the Asian American Cultural Center.
c. Organize the annual Dragon Boat Festival & Race at Lady Bird Lake on the last Saturday and Sunday of each April. Next year we will celebrate the 19th Annual Dragon Boat event for two days, April 29 &30, 2017.
d. Organize the Austin Asian Occasion (AAO) to celebrate the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month on the last Saturday in May; this is a multicultural performing arts show and a fundraiser to support the mission of a local nonprofit organization each year. Meals on Wheels, Ronald McDonald House, People’s Community Clinic, KLRU, Texas School for the Deaf, UT Music School, Power to Parkinsons and Any Baby Can were the beneficiaries in the previous years.
On Saturday, September 10, please come join us to celebrate and harvest the wonders and fullness of the community spirit. Please view the schedule of the program on our website:
