Phare US Tour Wrap Up<\/h2>\n

\"PKP_5651\"The ‘Khmer Metal’ troupe has returned safe and sound from their two month US tour. They performed in Long Beach, Stockton, Oakland and San Francisco, California; at the Ringling International Arts Festival in Sarasota, Florida; in Washington, D.C.; and in Arlington and Falls Church, Virginia. It was a whirlwind. They did\u00a0a great job of being ambassadors for Cambodian art and wowed audiences across the country.<\/p>\n

\n

In California, it was wonderful to connect with the Cambodian-American community, many of whom had never seen Phare perform. Here’s some feedback from a few of our new Khmer-American fans:<\/p>\n

In San Francisco, Phare was invited to perform at the Give2Asia Gala. Our old friend, Nobel prize winner Muhammed Yunus was in the audience and took time to pose with the artists after the show.<\/p>\n
