      Music From China (MFC) is an extraordinary musical ensemble 
that invokes the delicacy and power of both traditional and 
contemporary Chinese music. Based in New York City, this world-class 
ensemble introduces audiences to the best of Chinese music both past 
and present. MFC was founded in 1984 by Executive Director Susan 
Cheng and performs for audiences throughout the east coast and cities 
across the U.S. 
      MFC collaborates with composers to develop new works that expand 
the boundaries of traditional Chinese music. The ensemble is the 
first Chinese organization to receive an Adventurous Programming award 
from Chamber Music America and the American Society of Composers, 
Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for creating unique programs that 
combine eastern and western music. Since 1986, MFC has commissioned 
and performed over 85 new works by 50 composers and is a major 
contributor to the development of Chinese new music.
