About
The mission of Hopkins Oriental Music Ensemble (HOME) is to share Asian culture with the Hopkins community through oriental music and provide Hopkins students with opportunities to learn traditional Asian instruments. The organization also introduces a fusion of different cultures and musical genres with arrangements, emphasizing diversity in an inclusive atmosphere. HOME includes talented composers who arrange music for the ensemble and gifted musicians who play traditional oriental instruments in the ensemble. Currently, we have the Guzheng, Dizi, Erhu, Guqin, Da Ruan, and Pipa. Students with any level of musicianship are welcome!
