Max Zeng is a junior at CHS with a passion for soccer, violin, and sharing Asian culture through music. One of his favorite Asian books is The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui. Max joined the concert planning team because he enjoys playing Asian music and felt that the community lacked enough events celebrating this vibrant culture. He is particularly fond of the violin and hopes this concert will inspire younger (or even older) audience members to try learning traditional instruments.
