While their annual showcase celebrating Asian culture and the Lunar New Year couldn’t happen in person this year in Edison Theatre at Washington University in St. Louis due to the pandemic, members of the Lunar New Year Festival refused to give up. Instead, they pivoted to create their first virtual show. The production premiered live on YouTube March 27 and remains available to view online.
The theme for this year’s show is “Unwavering,” a testament to the countless hours of work that the executive board, choreographers, performers, videographers and editors put into this year’s performance.
