The Event | 活动简介

Music is the common language of all people and can build bridges of understanding between people of different nations, creeds, faiths, and colors. Please join us for a musical performance followed by a discussion of collaborative ventures between the U.S. and China and why these efforts are important to future generations.

音乐是人类的共同语言，在不同国家、信仰和肤色的人之间架起了沟通的桥梁。我们诚邀您欣赏Blocker 院长的音乐演奏并参与随后的讨论，探讨中美两国在音乐领域的合作探索对子孙后代的重要影响。
