Caofa Chih-Lin

Canadian Association of Oriental Fine Arts (CAOFA) & Chih-Lin Chou
In chinese culture, there is no clear division between the mind and the heart as there is in the west. This is a multi-arts program that explores this idea through music, words accompanied by music, movement and dance.

Chih-Lin is a publicly and professionally recognized Chinese-Canadian virtuoso of the gu-zheng -- the 21-string Chinese zither. For the past decade she has focused on the presentation of traditional and contemporary music and fine arts to audiences in concert and public environments. Parallel with this she has worked to develop connections with numerous oriental cultural groups in Montreal. She is the artistic director of Canadian Association of Oriental Fine Arts (CAoFA) and the Gu-Zheng Ensemble of Montreal (GZEM).
