Pioneer Arts and Humanities Association (PAHA) and Global Musicians and Arts Association have successfully completed 2025 Vienna Music Trip. The exciting 7-day- 6 nights Music Journey started with performance in the United Nations Concert for Peace held in the main office of the United Nations Austria. Students also had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the visual, historical, and social beauty of Austria and adjacent nations. The team first visited the capital of music, Vienna, then passed by Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Hungary and Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. We also relaxed in Lake Bled, the most beautiful lake in Slovenia and finally visited Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia.

Led by PAHA advisor Linli Ye and Student President Jerry Z. Chen, PAHA proudly presented the 3rd United Nations concert for peace as part of Annual PAHA Music Trip to Vienna. All participating young musicians successfully performed in the main office of the United Nations in Vienna, Austria and received customized certificates from United Nations. Many Local musicians and UN officials were present to watch the concert. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not only showcased all students' talents and performance skills on an international platform but also promoted the music and culture exchanges between the US and Austria.

As part of our music trip, Pioneer Arts & Humanities Association (PAHA) co-organized the 2025 Youth Art Exhibition, an annual international humanity event initiated by United Nations Women's Guild in Vienna (UNWG). The main theme of this year's exhibition is to "Preserve the Beauty of the Earth". More than 100 art pieces created by young artists all over the world have been evaluated and selected by UNWG. Many PAHA and GMAA members have proudly submitted their drawings, paintings and other art pieces and more than 10 pieces have been selected in the final exhibition. PAHA Advisor Linli Ye and Student President Jerry Z. Chen have organized the initial selection and helped preparing the final exhibition.

During this wonderful music journey, PAHA team members have also participated in Volunteering work in the United Nations by helping to organize & prepare the music master class, peace concert, youth art exhibition and participating in the UN benefit book auctions.
