An online overseas open day event was held by China Poly Group Corporation Limited (Poly Group) in Beijing on Nov. 27.

The event, held under the guidance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, was an important event to improve creativity, inspiration and public credibility in international communication and to tell China's stories well and make the voice of China heard.

Themed “Music in the air,” the event was formatted as a concert with contributions from the Vancouver Academy of Music (VAM) in Canada, Poly Culture North America of Poly Group's Poly Culture Group Corporation Limited, the Forbidden City Concert Hall of Poly Theater, and Poly WeDo.

At the concert, renowned Chinese and Canadian musicians were invited to perform together through the internet, expressing their best wishes to music lovers and showing respect to the medical workers who contribute to the anti-pandemic battle across the globe.

At the event, Poly Group also ushered viewers into its Poly Culture North America facilities to learn about the company's contribution to cultural cooperation and exchanges between China and foreign countries.

The concert integrated Chinese and Western classical music and folk music.

Renowned Canadian cellist Joseph Elworthy, President & CEO of the VAM, played the Chinese traditional melody Pastoral, and Gao Can, professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, well-known violinist and co-founder and music director of Poly WeDo, played passages from Vivaldi: The Four Seasons.

Performance by Poly WeDo's children chorus and the VAM Symphony Orchestra of The Same Song, a composition that conveys the idea of spreading love and hope through musical cooperation between different countries, was a perfect ending for the concert.
