Show Notes
The United States and China have a complicated history dating back to 1949. But, relations shifted when President Richard Nixon visited China for the first time in 1972. A year later, the Philadelphia Orchestra toured China and was the first American orchestra to do so. The trip was more than just about music, it was diplomacy. Jennifer Lin is the author and filmmaker of “Beethoven in Beijing”. She details what happened on the tour and what it means for U.S. and Chinese relations 50 years later.
