Lexington Symphony has been honored as 2026 recipient of the CAAL Community Building Award/Grant Program. This ongoing initiative exemplifies CAAL’s commitment to serving Lexington and empowering local organizations. In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, CAAL launched a relief initiative to sustain vital community projects and operations. The 2026 award celebrates the dynamic partnership between Lexington Symphony and CAAL, supporting the Symphony’s mission to enrich our community with world-class multicultural music. Through the Community Building Award/Grant Program, CAAL has contributed over $170,000 to more than 30 Lexington organizations and projects, fostering resilience and cultural vibrancy throughout our town.

The biting wind of yet another snowstorm did not deter ticket holders from flocking to the annual Lunar New Year Gala presented by the Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL) on Saturday, Feb. 7. It was a full house at Cary Memorial Hall.

At a time of divisive national debate around immigration and identity, Lexington’s celebration emphasized unity and shared civic life. 

“We really wanted to celebrate Chinese culture in different styles and traditions. To have that celebrated in Cary Memorial Hall during the nation’s 250th anniversary, celebrating a different culture, a different history, but being all together, is a really big thing,” said event chair and performance director Qian Hu.

The CAAL and CAAL PAC Candidate Forum was held on January 31, with 58 attendees participating in the Saturday evening event. We thank all the candidates for their thoughtful responses to our questions based on community input and interest, and truly appreciate the time and energy they devoted to engaging with our community.

Following the forum, the CAAL PAC collected feedback and input from participants. CAAL PAC members then met for discussion and deliberation of the endorsement. We are fortunate to live in such an amazing town, with enthusiastic and talented candidates willing to serve our community. We wish all the candidates the best of luck in the March 2 election.

Here is the video recording of the forum:
