This year, the Pittsburgh Chinese Cultural Center (PCCC) proudly presents CivilizASIAN – an American Lunar New Year Gala, produced and directed by award-winning violinist, producer, and director Sean Gao. As the Trustees Distinguished Professor of Violin at the University of Delaware and founding Artistic Director of the internationally renowned Master Players Music Festival, Mr. Gao brings an exceptional vision to this year’s gala, elevating it to a new level of East-West fusion. Known for his innovative approach, Mr. Gao has assembled a cast of world-renowned artists, including the 6-WIRE World Music Ensemble, Erhu Master Cathy Yang, celebrated Peking Opera artists Junqing Li and Yong-Hong Jia, creative magician Eric Chiu, and a roster of instrumentalists, vocalists, and dancers from both Chinese and Western traditions. With a state-of-the-art technical team managing lighting, sound, scenic design, costumes, and makeup, the 2025 Greater Pittsburgh Lunar New Year Gala promises an unforgettable, culturally rich celebration like no other.
