A special concert performed by primary school students from China and the United Kingdom was held in the music hall of China National Traditional Orchestra on Thursday, showing the blend (融合) of Chinese and Western musical traditions.
Over 200 students from Fangcaodi International School's Century Primary School and students and teachers from its sister school, Richard Alibon Primary School in the UK, attended the concert to exchange their stories and understandings of their cultures.
Music has no boundaries (国界), and cultural differences make the world more colorful, said Wu Jianguo, headmaster of the primary school in Beijing. He also added that these young artists combine folk songs with choirs (合唱队), blending Eastern and Western cultures through their performances.
