By breaking cultural boundaries\, The GCB invites audiences from all backgrounds on a musical journey that transcends eras and borders. \n\nAbout The CAAA \nThe Chinese Artists Association of Alberta (CAAA) is dedicated to promoting and supporting Chinese arts and culture across Alberta and beyond.
