WOVEN STORIES 2025: Silicon Valley Spring Festival Gala & 2nd Multicultural Arts Festival
A Lunar New Year Gala Encapsulating Your Story and Mine
Join us for WOVEN STORIES 2025, the 16th annual Spring Festival Silicon Valley Gala, and the 2nd Multicultural Arts Festival, proudly presented by CPAA Arts Center (Chinese Performing Arts of America, CPAA). This vibrant celebration honors the Lunar New Year with a stunning display of music, dance, and immersive art forms that reflect the diverse communities of the Bay Area. The grand event will occur at 7:00 p.m. on February 22, 2025, at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. Situated in Silicon Valley—a global hub of innovation—the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday serves as a cherished time for Bay Area residents to celebrate family reunions and a memorable occasion to experience the heartfelt stories woven by immigrants and locals from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
A Convergence of Cultural Heritage and Innovation
Since its establishment in 1991, the CPAA Arts Center has been a cornerstone for Chinese arts education and cultural exchange in Northern California. Embracing the philosophy of “breaking boundaries through art,” CPAA seamlessly blends Eastern and Western traditions, creating a rich multicultural tapestry that celebrates heritage and innovation. This dedication is vividly brought to life in WOVEN STORIES 2025, where classical Chinese opera shares the stage with traditional Mexican, Indian, and other multicultural performances, enriching the evening with cross-cultural artistic expressions.
A Grand Feast to Experience the Myriad Flavors of Life
WOVEN STORIES 2025 is thoughtfully divided into four thematic chapters, each representing life’s six quintessential flavors—sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, salty, and umami. The journey begins with “The Intertwining of Sweet and Sour,” featuring an elegant dance and moving piano composition that captures the warmth of family reunions and the bittersweet emotions of leaving one’s homeland. This seamlessly transitions into “The Collision of Spicy and Bitter,” where contemporary dance and dramatic storytelling depict the struggles and perseverance of immigrants striving to achieve their dreams.
The third chapter, “The Reflection of Salty and Savory,” showcases a harmonious blend of Chinese and Western musical ensembles alongside various performance styles, evoking the deep resonance of cultural heritage and the innovative spirit of cultural fusion. The evening culminates in “The Symphony of Life’s Flavors,” a breathtaking finale featuring a bilingual chorus and a harmonious group dance performed by artists from diverse ethnic backgrounds, symbolizing the continuous interplay of light and shadow in our life stories.
Each chapter uses the symbolism of gastronomy to reflect universal human emotions, revealing the warmth of family reunions, the challenges of forging new identities, and the profound beauty of cultural fusion.
Featuring Renowned Performers and Rising Stars
For the eighth consecutive year, National First-Class Choreographer Han Feng leads as the Director, alongside multidisciplinary artist Wu Diandian as Assistant Director. The gala boasts an impressive lineup of esteemed performers, including bamboo flute virtuoso Yu Xiaoqing, guqin master Wang Man, National Class-One dancer Sun Wenlong, renowned pipa player Zhang Shenshen, pianists Dr. Ilya Blinov and Wu Hao, and conductor Zhang Zhizhen with the Jingjing Chorus.
The evening will be hosted by celebrated broadcaster Luo Zezhong, an alumnus of the Communication University of China, and cross-disciplinary artist Wu Diandian for the Chinese-language segments. Kimberly Tom, Miss San Francisco 2021–2022, will host the English-language portions of the gala.
Dance performances will feature the CPAA Arts Troupe (Fei Yang Dance Company) and the HAN Performing Art Academy’s high school dance troupe, both renowned for their rigorous training. They will present original works such as Ode to Jasmine, Children of Dai, My Prairie, Drumming Dance, and White Snake Romance, encapsulating the emotional essence of the gala’s theme. Additionally, award-winning young Chinese American dancers Jeffrey Wu and Aria Du, who have excelled at STAR POWER’s National Finals and the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) World Finals, will showcase the limitless potential of cross-cultural artistic fusion. Outstanding dance groups from Mexican and Indian communities will also present the authentic beauty of their traditional art forms, adding to the evening’s rich cultural diversity.
A Night of Cross-Cultural Resonance
“Life is like a grand feast, filled with various tastes. These flavors fuel our drive to pursue our dreams and cherish every moment,” remarked Han Feng, Artistic Director of the CPAA Arts Center, during the planning meeting. “Through this performance, we aim to share our stories and emotions with a broader audience, allowing people from diverse cultural backgrounds to find something that resonates with them.”
WOVEN STORIES 2025 is more than just a showcase of art and culture—it is a profound opportunity for cross-border, cross-cultural connection. In the heart of Silicon Valley’s vibrant tech and cultural hub, CPAA continues its mission to preserve and promote Chinese culture while fostering the integration and growth of diverse cultural expressions.

作為北加州華人社區最具代表性的年度文化盛事,飛揚藝術中心傾力打造的“盛宴WOVEN STORIES 2025飛揚蛇年硅谷春晚暨第二節多元文化藝術節”將於2025年2月22日晚7點在聖何賽演出藝術中心盛大開幕。在硅谷這片全球創新的沃土上,2025這個農曆新年假期,既是灣區民眾享受團圓佳餚的溫馨時刻,也是見證各個族裔移民共同分享和編織情感故事的難忘日子。不論大家來自何方,我們心中對新年的期盼、對團圓的渴望從未改變,晚會“盛宴”不僅描繪了團圓宴上的美味,更是通過味覺和情感的連結,呈現一場心靈的筵席。這場主題為“WOVEN STORIES”的跨文化藝術晚會,以繽紛多彩的舞臺藝術詮釋了人生的甜、酸、辛、苦、鹹、鮮六種滋味,為硅谷觀眾呈現了一場情感與文化交織的視聽盛宴。
文化傳承與創新的交匯
飛揚藝術中心創立於1991年,是硅谷地區華人藝術教育與文化交流的重要平臺。多年來,中心堅持傳承中華文化,融合多元藝術的宗旨,秉持“以藝術打破邊界“的理念,在培養藝術人才的同時,致力於搭建中西文化交流的橋樑。本次春晚正是這一使命的生動體現。
本次晚會以“向中國戲曲致敬”為獨特使命,大膽運用戲腔、戲舞詮釋東方情感,同時也融合了墨西哥、印度、俄羅斯等多民族傳統藝術講述來自各大陸的故事。晚會共分為四個篇章,分別以“甜與酸的纏綿”、“辛與苦的碰撞”、“鹹與鮮的輝映”及尾聲“百味人生的交響”等情感篇章貫穿全場。節目涵蓋傳統民樂、現代舞蹈、戲曲表演和情境互動等多種藝術形式,通過美食與情感的隱喻,將人生百味娓娓道來。晚會通過共同編織的故事,跨越了國界、文化與時空,凝聚了全灣區多族裔移民對團聚、對家鄉、對理想的共同追求。
第一篇章“甜與酸的纏綿”以柔美的舞蹈和深情的鋼琴曲開場,展現了家庭團聚的溫馨和離別故土的酸楚。第二篇章“辛與苦的碰撞”則通過現代舞與戲劇交融,表現了移民在追逐夢想的奮鬥歷程中的拼搏與艱辛。第三篇章“鹹與鮮的融合”以中西樂器合奏和多元風格的節目為主,展現文化沉澱的回味悠長,和文化碰撞融合的創新魅力,讓歷史和現實交相輝映。尾聲中,中英文合唱的純淨歌聲和多族裔演員的和諧共舞,將全場帶入一個夢幻的世界,寓意光影交織的人生故事永不停歇,未來將繼續書寫屬於我們灣區民眾的傳奇篇章。
