The California Institute for Chinese Performing Arts (CICPA) is showcasing two award winning USC graduates: Paul Kwo and George Shaw, in their original music concert titled Eastern Horizon: A Contemporary Fusion of Eastern and Western Sounds. For one night only on June 6th, 2009 at 8 pm in CICPAs Theatre in El Monte, the composers attempt to promote Chinese culture as well as introduce younger audiences to a mixture of old and new musical styles through their music.

Kwo and Shaw graduated from University of Southern California (USC) Thorton School of Music earning both their undergraduate and graduate degrees from USC. Kwo is a Los Angeles area master pianist and composer, while Shaw recently won Best Music in a Short at the Garden State Film Festival Movie Music Competition and 5 Gold Medals at the Park City Film Music Festival.

The ensemble that accompanies Kwo and Shaw consist of highly acclaimed musicians. Nicole Garcia (Violin), Yunhe Liang (Erhu), Amy Tatum (Flute), and Simone Vitucci (Cello) have all worked with well-known musical greats. Some artists that have collaborated with the featured musicians are Aretha Franklin, Andrea Bocelli and Yo-Yo Ma.

The performance will help cross cultural boundaries via the exchange of musical genres from the East and West.
