Goldsmiths Confucius Institute 2026 Chinese New Year Gala
Join us for a spectacular evening of celebration at the Goldsmiths Confucius Institute 2026 Chinese New Year Gala!
On Thursday 26th February, Goldsmiths Confucius Institute for Dance and Performance will host its annual Chinese New Year Celebrations in Richard Hoggart Building's Great Hall at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Through a carefully curated programme of gatherings, hands-on workshops, high-quality artistic performances, interactive activities, and shared dining, the Gala invites participants to engage deeply with the atmosphere, traditions, and cultural expressions of the Spring Festival.
This year’s Gala is inspired by the Year of the Horse, a symbol traditionally associated with vitality, momentum, and a forward-looking spirit. The Horse represents energy, independence, and new beginnings.
"The Horse Leaps into the New Year, Dance and Music Spread Across the World" is produced by the Confucius Institute for Dance and Performance at Goldsmiths, University of London.
We warmly welcome you to join our Chinese New Year Gala on Thursday February 26 2026.
This video is created to celebrate the traditional Chinese New Year in 2026, which is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac. Inspired by the image of the horse, it conveys joyous celebrations and blessings for the new year through the art of Chinese dance.
