On Saturday, the Newton high schools and GELF celebrated the restarting of the Newton - Beijing Jingshan Exchange Program, the oldest US-China secondary school exchange program of the country. The event featured the award-winning Beijing Youth Performance Troupe from Beijing Normal University! The evening showcased a vibrant fusion of folk dances from the Han, Dai, and Mongolian ethnic groups, alongside the captivating sounds of five traditional Chinese instruments: the flute, erhu, p**a, dulcimer, and guzheng. One of the highlights of the evening was a piece that beautifully captures the serene life of Jiangnan water towns, evoking the misty rain and peaceful homes of the region. This performance has garnered acclaim at prestigious venues such as the Shanghai APEC Summit and the Élysée Palace in France. Additionally, the audience also enjoyed a special collaboration between these talented artists and students from Newton North and Newton South high schools.
