Desc: Beethoven in Beijing: Directed by Jennifer R. Lin, Sharon Mullally. With Elizabeth Hainen, Láng Lang, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Dun Tan. Dispatched by President Nixon in 1973 to help open the bamboo curtain separating Chinese and American people, the iconic Philadelphia Orchestra now turns to its past as a cultural ambassador to strengthen its future at home. Mixing archival images and audio with present-day observational footage, backstage and onstage, and enlivened with animation, the film dramatizes how the revival of classical music in China is energizing the world of music.
