2. 2026 Summer School Program

A. The 3rd Silkroad’s Global Musicians Workshop

Co-hosted by ZJCM and the Silkroad Ensemble (founded by Yo-Yo Ma), this prestigious 7-day intensive workshop will be held at our campus from July 26 to August 1, 2026. Designed for musicians aged 16 and above, it features masterclasses with Grammy-winning artists such as Wu Man, cross-cultural band collaborations, and immersive improvisation sessions. The program culminates in live concerts, offering a unique platform for deep artistic exchange within a global musical community.

B. U.S.-China Music & Cultural Exchange Festival

This immersive program, based at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music in June 2026 (tentative), is designed as a cultural gateway for international students and young artists. It uniquely combines hands-on musical workshops in traditional Chinese arts—including folk instruments (e.g., Guzheng, Pipa), opera, and dance led by renowned professors—with guided cultural field studies in and around Hangzhou. Participants will not only learn artistic skills on campus but also visit local museums, historic sites like West Lake, and experience the living cultural context. Through this blend of practice and exploration, the program fosters a deep, practical understanding of Chinese music and culture, promoting meaningful cross-cultural dialogue and friendship.
