Chinese Arts and Music Association

Chinese Arts and Music Association Welcome to the homepage of CAMA!

Here you will find everything you want to know about our organization, samples of Chinese classical music, specifications and history on various kinds of Chinese classical music instruments. CAMA was founded in the mid 1980s where a surge of new talent and interest in Chinese music was emerging in the Pacific Northwest. CAMA saw the need to develop and encourage the growth of the new musicians in

the area and as a result, in October 1986 CAMA formed the Seattle Chinese Orchestra. Later, as the Seattle Chinese Orchestra progressed, the association began to have a vision of providing a higher level of professional Chinese music performances to its audiences. In April 1989, the Warren Chang Music Ensemble (now known as the US China Music Ensemble) was formed, displaying some of the association’s best performers. Sponsors who supported CAMA provided funding for the newly formed ensemble and a tour was mounted, gaining a widespread popularity for the ensemble.

The SCO Ensemble recently had the opportunity to share their musical artistry at the Second Saturdays: Art x Music Festival Celebration at the Postmark Center for the Arts in Auburn.

It was a joyful afternoon welcoming spring through music, creativity, and community. During the collaborative art activity, families and participants painted along with the music, creating vibrant canvases inspired by rhythm, harmony, and personal connection.

A special thank you to for leading the art activity, and to everyone who joined us to listen, paint, and celebrate together. We are grateful to share music with such a warm and welcoming community. 🎶🎨
