Stage One Productions ::: The Gift » All Things "the Gift" Beijing.

Come one come all for this years The Gift. We have some great new vendors, great food and entertainment all day long!

This years Gift Charity Bazaar will once again feature a multicultural blend of performing artists throughout the day to help get everyone in the Christmas spirit!!

Pop/Rock/Folk bands with a North American base, led by artists such as Jen Woodruff, Mike Banker, and Chris Gaertner will offer a mix of Christmas tunes and original music. The choir from the hosting Canadian International School of Beijing will welcome everyone with their vocal arrangements.

Get ready for some great fun in learning from our Filipino friends the “Tinikling” dance, which features the use of sticks. One of last year’s big hits was the ensemble of traditional Chinese instrumentalists from the China Conservatory, who is again sending a contingent this year.

We will once again feature a baby grand piano settled among the vendors with pianists such as Josh Ong setting the festive atmosphere as our guests go about their shopping! Even a couple of our NGOs will be featuring their own performances: Bethel, an NGO providing a home for blind Chinese children will feature their choir, and Epic Arts, a who empowers handicapped people to excel in the arts, will offer a musical performance. Get ready to celebrate with us!

Thanks to everyone for making this year’s The Gift Charity Bazaar a great success! We had so much fun seeing everyone getting into the Christmas spirit! We had over 1,600 shoppers and raised over 55, 000 RMB for our supported charities. (see our 2011 supported charity list here)

A great big thank you to all the volunteers, musicians and to our 58 awesome vendors!
