Chicago Artopia

March 30, 2026-Outreach at Kinzie Elementary

On March 30, 2026, Chicago Artopia brought the world-class artistry of Duo Chinoiserie to Kinzie Elementary for an immersive K–2nd grade presentation. Featuring guzheng virtuoso Jing Xia and classical guitarist Bin Hu, the session turned the auditorium into a vibrant "conversation between two worlds. Students had the rare opportunity to experience the duo’s performance up close, which sparked a lively exchange of elementary yet thoughtful questions about how the instruments work and make their unique sounds.

This program exemplifies Chicago Artopia’s mission to bridge the gap between young people and inspiring cultural experiences. We are grateful to the Kinzie Elementary community for helping us prove that the most sophisticated music can still feel like home.
