I think I went to one of its concerts back in 2007 or 2008, shortly after I returned to California. Their annual concert was in May, so I re-discovered the group a little too late. I'll try to attend next year.

Stanford Gu-Zheng Ensemble
The Stanford Gu-zheng Ensemble is a group of Stanford students from all disciplines that have been drawn together by their interest in gu-zheng (Chinese harp). This instrument is considered the ancestor of other Asian zither instruments, such as the Japanese koto. Performances are given each quarter, demonstrating the ensemble members’ talents and their appreciation for classical Chinese music. Led by renowned gu-zheng player Daisy You, the group explores both traditional and contemporary pieces for gu-zheng and occasionally incorporates other Chinese instruments as well.
