LA takes to Chinese folk music

LOS ANGELES - The Dolby Theater, recent host to Hollywood's star-studded Academy Awards, hosted entirely different types of stars on Wednesday night: A performance of Enchanting China, a Chinese folk music concert with a surprise Hollywood guest star.

A mixed crowd of elegantly dressed attendees from both China and the United States turned out to enjoy the unique fare, and ended up giving the performers a standing ovation at the end of the evening, cheering and clapping for multiple curtain calls.

"It is the first time that the highest level Chinese folk music has been performed in Hollywood," said Zhang Ping, Chinese consul-general to Los Angeles.
