Celebrate Asia is a distinctive, annual program in the Seattle area founded by Yoshi Minegishi, a longtime board member of the Seattle Symphony. Since its inception around 2009, the initiative has grown into a respected platform for cross-cultural collaboration, featuring world premieres, U.S. premieres, and performances that fuse traditional Asian arts with contemporary musical forms. The program regularly includes pre-concert lobby activities, lion dance and Taiko performances, and vendor markets that celebrate local Asian-descent communities. With live performances at Benaroya Hall and opportunities to watch via Seattle Symphony Live streaming, Celebrate Asia brings dynamic cultural exchange to Seattle audiences.
