Over the next
two weeks I’ll be pointing out some Chinese New Year events happening globally. This first one is actually a global
event in itself taking place over several weeks in 16 of the world’s biggest cosmopolitan capitals. New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) presents the 2006 Chinese New
Year Global Gala, a showcase of local, national and internationally acclaimed artists and performers. Think traditional
Chinese dance on contemporary stages, vibrant attire, flags and ribbons weaving stories of the past, and booming drums
being played to shake off winter darkness. Tickets can be purchased for the shows and broadcast will be available for
close to 200 million viewers. Boston and Taiwan shows recently passed and the next show in Wilmington, DE on January
24, 2006. Other cities include DC, Houston, Los Angeles, NYC, Paris, San Diego, San Francisco, Seoul, Sydney, Toronto
and Vancouver. See NTDTV for more info.
