The China Project Part I

This is the first part of the recent Vermont Public Radio production of The China Project, a YWP initiative with musicians of the Vermont Youth Orchestra who traveled to China.

A group of young Vermont musicians traveled to China this summer, and they experienced the enormous and complex nation in a way the average tourist never could. Members of the Vermont Youth Orchestra performed in magnificent concert halls, and even played at The Great Wall of China. In between, they toured ancient temples, and strolled through lush gardens.

Daniel Houghton of the Young Writers Project narrates. In the second part of the VPR series, we hear more from young musicians who wrote down their thoughts and recorded their reactions to all that they were experiencing in China. Click here to read and hear the entire China Project blog.
