An-Ting Chang is a classically trained pianist and the director of Chinese Arts Now (CAN), an arts organisation that showcases contemporary Chinese art in the UK. We talk about the Asian work ethic, why she hates the term "world music", and why hotpot beats relationships!

Watch the trailer for CAN festival (seriously, it's really impressive), and find all CAN shows for the 2020 Lunar New Year here.
