It was introduced that Mr. Tang Muhai, a famous conductor, was invited to act as the art director of this Event. This was the first instance where a children’s musical event was led by a world class conductor in China. In addition, by means of two-way musical and cultural exchanges consisting of invitation of children’s choruses from the cities which hosted the Winter Olympics to Beijing each year and the “Olympic Trip of Music” of domestic choruses to other countries, this Event will complete in 2022 the first “great gathering of the Winter Olympic cities” in the history of Olympics. By then, children’s choruses from all cities that hosted the Winter Olympics in the past will gather in Beijing to sing for the Olympics. Meanwhile, this Event will be continued after 2022 as an important event in the field of Olympic culture in China.
