Time for music and messages of friendship and peace. In the last 10 days, some 30 choirs from China and the U.S., altogether about 1,000 young people, have taken part in the 2025 China-U.S. Youth Choir Festival – one of the largest youth cultural exchange events between the two nations in recent years.

These young people brought music to locals in southern China's Fuzhou and the capital, Beijing, all the while making friends and building bridges for peace. We follow their musical trip in the next few minutes, and all music you hear is recorded live.
