History 历史
Eastern Music Ensemble at Cornell (CEME) stands as a vibrant testament to East Asian culture, weaving together the threads of tradition and innovation. As student-run music ensemble, CEME draws inspiration from the classical roots of a traditional Chinese orchestra (國樂團), adorning its performances with the sounds of traditional Chinese instruments. Our musical journey encompasses the diverse melodies and rhythms that echo through varied landscapes of East Asian music.
Mission 使命
CEME envisions a campus where the melodies of East Asian music resonate far and wide, creating a harmonious blend of cultural diversity. Through our performances, workshops, and collaborations, we seek to spark a dialogue that transcends musical genres and fosters a deeper understanding of East Asian culture. As we continue to evolve and grow, CEME remains dedicated to the dual pursuit of preserving the cultural heritage embedded in traditional Chinese music and embracing the dynamic evolution of East Asian musical expressions in the modern era.
