Philadelphia Orchestra Tours China Dismantling Myths
Daniel Webster and the Philadelphia Orchestra recount a 10 day China tour that shifts views of China from myth to human exchange. They note cordial reception in Beijing and Shanghai, a rare meeting with Chiang Ching, and mutual musical understanding despite official tensions. The piece weighs diplomacy, culture, and personal growth over political divides.
