In 2010, we had several performances in Feburary to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year in Lakeforest Mall, FairOak Mall and DC downtown. We also had 5 performances of APA Months Celebration in May. Then, we were invited to perform at Smithsonian Folklife Festival 2010 (史密松尼博物館20l0民俗文化節) at the National Mall in June, and at The Second Washington Metropolitan Miss Chinese American Pageant at Strathmore Music Center (第二届大華府華裔小姐大賽) in September. After that, we performed in the Moon Festival (金秋月圓). We had been fairy busy and performed 26 times.

Our Ensemble had total 42 performances in 2008 and 2009. Among them were Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Reception and Celebation at Dirksen Senate Building （參議院）, Keynote Program at the Library of Congress (國會圖書館）, APA program of the U. S. Census Bureau （人口統查處）, 2008 Olympic Trail qualifiers at Meadowbrook Aquatic Center, "Spotlight by Starlight" at Amphitheater. Yellow river Art Ensemble (黃河藝術團) also invited us to perform in the Moon Festival (金秋月圓) at Concert Hall of Centre of the Arts. We really had a good time those years.

我們的團址是在美國東岸維吉尼亞州北部的泰森角。 團員來自中﹑港﹑台﹑美，也有越南﹑泰國﹑寮國﹑日本﹑馬來西亞等地的華僑。自二〇〇二年六月成立到二〇一二年五月，我們在不同的大學﹑政府部門﹑圖書館﹑購物中心等場所先後演出了一百七十一次;足跡遍及國會山莊、參議院、國會圖書館、華盛頓紀念碑公園、史密松尼博物館國家廣場、喬治梅森大學音樂廳和金碧輝煌的Strathmore音樂廳。嬋鳴古箏團整齊的陣容和高水平的表演， 都使華盛頓首府各地區的居民留下深刻的認識和瞭解。
箏團成立以來,除了表演古曲和現代箏曲外,不斷在古箏的表達和演譯上作出新嘗試。在箏團新編配的箏曲中配以不同的樂器和敲撃樂,如木琴、電子吉他、小提琴、長笛、簫、鼓堂、獅鼓、軍鼓、海鼓、鑼、鈸、罄、木魚、碰鈴和鈴鼓;還視乎樂曲的需要,加上舞蹈、書法、歌唱、武術和手語等,務求使觀衆体會到樂曲的神髓,産生恒久的共鳴。
在忙碌﹑枯燥的生活中，彈奏一曲，嬝嬝箏聲，確是陶冶性情，提高個人修養的好消遣。我們熱切地張開雙手歡迎你們加入這個大家庭，互相關懷，互勵互勉；共同為古箏的「大眾化」﹑「普及化」出一分力。在美國傳播中國的民族音樂，令生活多添姿彩。
