China Institute presents the Blue Cloud Award to two individuals whose achievements have reached great heights, and who have inspired others by promoting the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture, history, language and contemporary issues. This year we honor two extraordinary people with the Blue Cloud Award: Chen Feng, Chairman of HNA Group, and David Henry Hwang, Tony Award-winning playwright and librettist.
The evening includes a cocktail reception, dinner, the Blue Cloud awards ceremony and a special performance by China Institute’s internationally acclaimed Musician of the Year, Wu Tong.
