U.S. Performance Tour of Peiyang Chorus from China

In 2010, CUEAF organized the U.S. performance tour of the Peiyang Chorus, from Tianjin University, China. CUEAF arranged 12 concerts for Peiyang Chorus on this tour. Nine of these concerts were hosted by universities in the U.S., including:
  • Carnegie Mellon University,
  • George Washington University,
  • Indiana University,
  • Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis,
  • Johns Hopkins University,
  • University of Chicago,
  • University of Delaware,
  • University of Pittsburgh, and
  • Youngstown State University.

Tianjin University, established in 1895 and formerly named “Peiyang University,” is the first educational institution of higher learning in modern China and enjoys a great reputation both at home and abroad. Peiyang Chorus is the official choral society of Tianjin University. The group, which used to be known as Peiyang Singing Group or later Tianjin University Chorus, adopted its present name in 1985. It consists of undergraduate and postgraduate students from different fields of study. Peiyang Chorus has been awarded seven gold medals in international choral competitions and honored by the International Federation for Choral Music as a world-class chorus.

​For the past two decades, Peiyang Chorus has offered performances in more than 20 countries and regions. As the first non-professional college choir, Peiyang Chorus has gradually established its own style of freshness and simplicity. It has performed nearly 1,000 Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern and Contemporary choral compositions, many of which were introduced to Chinese audiences for the first time. Apart from performing numerous operettas and symphonic choral compositions, Peiyang Chorus has also sung hundreds of Chinese folk songs. It has become one of the most well-known university choirs in China.
