With the generous support of CAC, the Vietnamese Education & Cultural Association (VECA) and the Blood Moon Orchestra (BMO) are proud to present a workshop series for underserved youth in the East Bay area through the exploration of traditional music. Led by esteemed master traditional artist Van-Anh Vo, this series comprises 10 workshops spanning six months. Beyond cultivating musical proficiency, these sessions are designed to cultivate a profound appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into the music, fostering the growth of future cultural ambassadors.

Van-Anh Vo brings over a decade of experience in mentoring youth and conducting music and cultural education workshops throughout California. Our initiative is specially tailored to address the needs of marginalized youth in the East Bay Area, offering access to music education and cultural insights often overlooked in mainstream educational settings.
