HELLO GOLD MOUNTAIN is an original composition by Wu Fei, for chamber and symphony orchestras.

The work is inspired by real stories of Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai from Europe before and during World War II, and built lives in China.

Hello Gold Mountain premiered February 23, 2019 at Vanderbilt University's Ingram Hall in Nashville, TN, performed by chatterbird ensemble, featuring Wu Fei on guzheng and Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz on oud — the traditional Chinese and Jewish plucked string instruments respectively.

Orchestra and chamber versions of the work have since been performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Inscape Chamber Orchestra, Bellingham Symphony, and Lehigh Orchestra. The next performance is in Canada on January 31, 2024 by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
