New York’s Lincoln Center became a stage for global harmony this week as China Media Group (CMG) hosted the ‘United as One World, Voices of Peace’ film concert. The event, timed to mark 80 years since the end of World War II and the founding of the UN, blended cinematic storytelling and live music to champion unity. 🎻✨
A Night of Harmony
Pianist Lang Lang, violinist Randall Goosby, and vocalists like Kameron Lopreore joined forces with the New York International Symphony Orchestra and UN performers. Their renditions of classics like ‘Ode to Joy’ and original scores from wartime films hit all the right notes—literally and metaphorically. 🎹
Voices for a Shared Future
UN Under-Secretary Melissa Fleming praised music’s power to ‘transcend borders and heal divides’ in a video message. CMG President Shen Haixiong echoed this, urging audiences to ‘cherish peace and build a shared future’. Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng emphasized learning from history to reject conflict: ‘Say no to warmongering—dialogue is our superpower.’ 💬🌏
Stephen Orlins of the U.S.-China Relations Committee called the concert a ‘bridge between civilizations’, highlighting its timeliness amid global tensions. With standing ovations and cross-cultural collabs, the night proved that art remains humanity’s universal language. 🕊️🎬
