Tsering Wangmo
Tsering Wangmo is a passionate Tibetan artist, chef and activist. Having studied traditional Tibetan music, dance, and opera in the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts founded by HH the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, northern India, she then went on her maiden performance tour with Sonam Tashi and Tashi Dhondup to nine different cities in the US.
Thereafter, the trio has set up “Chaksampa”, a San Francisco-based non-profit organization dedicated to preservation of traditional Tibetan performing arts. In 1995, Tsering opened a one of a kind Tibetan restaurant, Lhasa Moon, in San Francisco and five years later received prestigious awards for her culinary book.
Currently she serves as an artistic director of the Chaksampa dance and opera company and works as a private chef in San Francisco.
