On Saturday, September 24th, 2022 we came together to celebrate the Fall Family Festival at the China Institute in NYC and commemorate the mid-autumn harvest with wishes for prosperity and time spent with family.
Mid-autumn is one of the most important festivals in China, when families gather under the full-moon and display lanterns to symbolically illuminate the path to success for the rest of the year. Join our celebration with music, art, sugar paintings, interactive activities and much more!

CUSWF Celebrates the Arts with Mariah Bonner!
Thank you all who came and made it such a special evening!
Mariah Bonner has been an inspiration to us. Her cabaret career was just taking off when Covid hit, so Mariah moved to online streaming and brought her beautiful music and joy to a growing audience around the world!
Mariah tells us "This was a very special evening for me because it’ll be my first time performing my very own Cabaret show in the Big Apple. I shared songs in French and English from my latest album, and more, in the intimate setting of Pangea’s dreamy cabaret room."
The dapper pianist, singer and composer Marcus Dagan accompanied me on keys. And I had a very special guest, the grand comedian, singer and producer, Lisa Faith Phillips.
Enjoy Mariah's performance of the beautiful song Warm, click here.
