On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, the US-China Music Institute and China Institute in Manhattan presented Part One of our two part webinar series, Beethoven in China. Our very own director, Jindong Cai, and his co-author and partner Sheila Melvin, discussed Beethoven’s influence and importance in modern Chinese culture. China Institute’s Dinda Elliott moderates their wide-ranging conversation, touching on some of the most important figures in Chinese classical music and tracing various milestones in the development of modern China through the lens of music.
