Hello, Thank you for joining us for the Met's
Lunar New Year Festival, Year of the Ox.
My name is Wellington Chen,
and I'm a member of the Advisory Committee on Cultural Engagement
and serve on the Board of Trustees at the Met.
Today it is my pleasure to introduce The New York Korean Arts Center
as we celebrate The Year of the Ox.
We're highlighting Art and Traditions from across Asia.
Please be sure to visit
the festival event page at metmuseum.org to explore more virtual activities
celebrating Lunar New Year.
The Lunar New Year festival, Year of the Ox programming
has been made possible, in part,
by council member Keith Powers.
And now, we are proud to present
Members of The New York Korean Performing Arts Center
who are dedicated to promoting intercultural understanding
and appreciation of Korea's artistic heritage and history,
perform live in the Met's Astor Court.
