The second part of our two-part webinar series “Beethoven in China” took place on Tuesday, July 28, in partnership with China Institute.
China Institute’s Dinda Elliott moderates with guest speakers Jindong Cai, filmmaker Jennifer Lin, and Ambassador Nicholas Platt
Last Tuesday’s event centered around discussion of the upcoming documentary ‘Beethoven in Beijing’ which chronicles the historic 1973 tour of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the broader topic of how Western classical music serves as a bridge between the US and China to this day. US-China Music Institute director Jindong Cai, filmmaker Jennifer Lin, and Ambassador Nicholas Platt engaged in an engrossing discussion spanning history, personal stories, and thoughtful reflection on US-China relations today and in the past.
