2012年北加州祭孔大典誠摯邀請您共襄盛舉

北加州第卅一屆祭孔大典暨教師節慶祝大會誠邀本會全體會員學校校 長、理事蒞臨指導。
孔子是一位偉大的教育家,
祭孔大典象徵著孔子所代表的儒家思想和中華文化薪傳的源遠流長。孔子有教無類,誨人不倦的精神, 奠定了孔子在中國歷史上不朽的地位。
北加州中文學校聯合會為北加州 祭孔大典委員會的四個主辦單位之一,
本屆北加州祭孔大典暨教師節慶祝大會將於九月廿三日上午十時 假庫菩堤諾市蒙塔維斯塔高中(Monta Vista Highschool,21840 McClellan Rd, Cupertino, CA 95014)舉行,誠邀本會全體會員學校校長、理事蒞臨觀禮, 表達對至聖先師崇敬之意。也請您共襄盛舉參與盛會並支持以下的捐款,祭孔六佾舞以及弟子規讀經隆重活動
  • 蒙俯允出席第卅一屆祭孔大典暨教師節慶祝大會, 請於北加州中文學校聯合會2012~2013學年第一次理事會( 9/2)前回覆此信函告知本會秘書處(anccschool@gmail.com),以便統計人數。謝謝您的參與及支持。
  • 祭孔大典意義深遠、典禮隆重, 花費自也相對的提高,懇請各位校長理事踴躍慷慨捐款, 贊助此一活動。詳情請您參閱祭孔大典特刊贊助捐款單
  • 北加州第卅一屆祭孔大典誠邀本會全體會員學校學生踴躍報名參加子規讀經 弟子規教學為兒童良善的品德教育紮下深厚的基礎,潛移默化間學生逐漸形成高尚的品德、處處為人著想的待人處世方法;更教育子弟學習中國優良的傳統孝道文化,待人接物、處世、求學時應有的禮儀規範。我們希望藉由學童學習弟子規讀經,將中華文化核心價值發揚光大籌備會將會精心為演出小朋友們備有精緻「孔像」書籤、餐盒及社區服務獎狀以資鼓勵. 報名的學生請參閱下載祭孔大典讀經班報名邀請表以及讀經教材 弟子規注音或是弟子規漢語拼音
  • 六佾舞是古代祭奠諸侯的一種儀式﹐也是每年祭孔的重要儀式,孔子被后人視為具諸侯之尊﹐所以在傳統的祭孔活動中﹐會啟用六佾舞儀式。我們希望藉由在美國長大的新一代中國學童透過祭孔大典六佾舞的表演更領略了博大精深的中華文化。凡參加佾舞表演的學生均可領到社區活動服務証明和獎品壹件. 以下為暫定六佾舞的練習時間和地點。如有意願參加佾舞表演的學校請與魏德珍(650)941-2931 汪昌泰 (408)893-5963王進德 650)576-7223或吳明宗 (510)233-3745聯絡.

FYCO Concert 5/12

On the Docks Suite Concert
Firebird Youth Chinese Orchestra (FYCO)


FYCO will be holding the On the Docks Suite Concert at California Theater in downtown San Jose, on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 2:30 PM. On the Docks is a modern Peking Opera originally composed for a Chinese orchestra in 1965 by YU Huiyong, a genius scholar and mentor of Chinese music. FYCO adapted this version to a four-movement suite for the modern Chinese orchestra today. Operatic music is one of the most important sectors in traditional Chinese music. It is one of our principal goals to expose this tradition to more students and audience.

FYCO is constantly pursuing the structure of a full-scale and well-balanced Chinese orchestra, complete with wind, plucked, percussion and string sections played by mostly young musicians. We value the natural acoustics in the concert hall and do not use microphones in our programs, including the solos. As an art and education institute we cherish the authentic Chinese music heritage, and strongly promote collaborative teamwork. Recognized for our exceptional achievements, FYCO is one of very few Asian-American organizations in the nation awarded by the city, state, and the federal government. 

As always, FYCO continues to providing high quality music education program at the Music Department of San Jose City College. A new building for the Department is under construction for the opening of this fall semester. For more info, please visit www.fyco.org
