The Youth Ensemble of Atlanta to Showcase Talented Atlanta Youth in China.

Atlanta, GA – The Youth Ensemble of Atlanta (YEA) will take part in a business and cultural exchange program organized by Arcom Group, Inc. (USA) and Hangzhou Arcom Business Consulting Company (China). This is a business and cultural exchange program between metropolitan Atlanta businesses, the Youth Ensemble of Atlanta and their respective counterparts in Zhejiang province, China. This exchange promotes cultural understanding and improvement of business relationships.

The Youth Ensemble of Atlanta serves metro-Atlanta youth from all walks of life. This is a rare opportunity for these talented Atlanta young people.  This trip to China will allow these Atlanta youths to come face to face with rich new cultures and encourage them to become global thinkers.  Founded in 1990, YEA has been providing young people with free performing arts training, as well as the opportunity to create issue-oriented musical dramas that tackle the challenges they face in the world around them.  These productions have been performed for more than a million people on three continents representing the city of Atlanta with distinction and honors in major festivals in South Africa, Belgium and Holland.  Most recently, YEA was honored by the highest office in the land, the White House, with the Coming Up Taller Award sponsored by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.

With a population of over 1.3 billion and a 2007 real GDP growth rate of over ten percent, China is undergoing an unprecedented economic boom. Atlanta’s prestige as a global city continues to grow as it continues to forge business and cultural linkages, especially in China.

This business and cultural exchange program is supported by the following:

·         Hon. Shirley Franklin, Mayor of Atlanta

·         Jim Maddox, Atlanta City Councilmember

·         Kwanza Hall, Atlanta City Councilmember

·         The Zhejiang (China) Association of Georgia

·         Lani Wong, Chairperson, The National Association of Chinese Americans

The program is planned for late December 2009.  Businesses and entrepreneurs seeking business relationships with Chinese counterparts, please send your company information to gthompson@arcomgroup.net.
