Concert at Shengjing Longcheng Mall (China)

To celebrate China Youth Volunteer Service Day, we collaborated with Hualei Special Needs Children School to host a special concert, sharing music, kindness, and friendship despite being in different countries. To express our love and support, we sent them videos of our performances. The most amazing part was that two kids from Hualei played along with our ensemble’s video of "Jasmine Flower." One played the violin, and the other played the ocarina. Although we weren’t in the same location, it felt like we were playing together, connected through music. This marked the first time young musicians from different countries performed together in this manner, making the event even more special! In addition to our musical collaboration, the children at Hualei showcased their talents as well! They sang, danced, and played traditional Chinese instruments, filling the event with beautiful sounds and joy. At Music and Love, we believe that music has the power to unite people, no matter where they are. This event demonstrated that even though we live far apart, our shared love for music and friendship can bridge distances and bring the world a little closer. We can’t wait to participate in more performances like this in the future! (Reported by Allie Rui)
