What happens when a beloved Chinese melody is played on traditional Indonesian instruments?

At the 2026 World Music Week at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, Chinese students explored the sounds and rhythms of Indonesian music through a hands-on workshop. Together with Indonesian musicians, they performed the Chinese classic "The Moon Represents My Heart," bringing two musical traditions together.

From discovering unfamiliar sounds to sharing a familiar melody, the workshop showed how music can connect cultures, inspire creativity and bring people closer together.
