Wear Yellow Proudly and Liberty City Arts will present “Tea With Tang and Song” on Feb. 28 and March 1, 2026 at the Philadelphia Ethical Society.

“This concert continues Wear Yellow Proudly’s mission to widen the scope of what is considered classical art song and advances our goal to share and broaden recognition of Asian language art song for the appreciation and consumption of all music lovers, ” said Alice Chung, the Artistic Director of Wear Yellow Proudly, per an official press release. “Given the melting pot that is Philadelphia, and our nation, our program also reflects how people have long gathered around tea as a shared social and cultural tradition.”

“Tea With Tang and Song” marks the first collaboration between Wear Yellow Proudly and Liberty City Arts. Wear Yellow Proudly was founded in 2020 in response to rising anti-Asian xenophobia during the COVID-19 pandemic and has supported over 90 Asian and Asian American artists. Liberty City Arts is a grassroots, artist-founded nonprofit dedicated to bringing opera to unexpected spaces across Philadelphia.
