Click here to contact us by e-mail, or call us at 1-800-267-8526 World Choirs, Bands, and Orchestras perform at ISME as part of a performing tour of China. I have been to these inspiring and educational conferences around the globe since 1978 and I can highly recommend them to anyone involved in music education. Indeed over the years I have made arrangements for over 60 choirs, bands and orchestras from all over the world and hundreds of music educators to travel to ISME and tour after. Music educators/teachers at ISME in China can be part of a trip of a lifetime. We have taken groups to China many times and we consider the whole country the Eighth Wonder of the World – no matter how spectacular one day and one place might be, the next day will surpass it! As I have done in the past I will combine ISME with unbelievable sightseeing for you in this 8000 year old ancient civilization; the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China, the Temple of Heaven, the beautiful Summer Palace, The Ming Tombs, the thousands of lifesize terra cotta warriors in Xian, I could go on and on. The ISME Conference theme is “Harmony and the World Future”. Harmony is the most important concept in China and also a fundamental characteristic of Chinese music. It means that the most excellent music must be the one that helps people reach peace of mind and then live with nature harmoniously. It is not only the highest praise for music, but also an ideal state in dealing with everything in Chinese people’s daily life. They hope that their family members live in happiness and harmony, and the relationship between people is harmonious. Lately, the Chinese Central Government has proposed to build a harmonious world. 2012 - If you are interested in your group performing at the ISME World Conference in Summer 2012, contact us for information at groups@mkitravel.com | | |

Their logo, depicted above, has triple meanings. The image is a watch-tower shape of the Great Wall, which indicates the conference is to be held in Beijing, China. The logo could be also regarded as a kind of musical instrument, Chinese chime-bells, the most splendid musical instrument of ancient China 2,400 years ago. The bell handle is carved with a symbol of the transformed treble clef and cloud, which indicates the ISME World Conference is a multicultural event with Eastern and Western music and people from all over the world. In Beijing, the environment is exquisite, the cultural atmosphere is delightful. It’s one of the most interesting and exciting places for international guests to visit, and displays a peaceful and harmonious environment between people and nature. There are numerous venues for entertainment covering an enormous range of Chinese national styles such as national instrumental music, national vocal music, national drama performances, Peking opera, comic dialogue, humorous sketches and so on. The facilities, transportation system and hotel accommodation were significantly improved and the environment was improved for the 29th Olympic Games which were held in Beijing. All these are favorable for the ISME 2010 world conference. 2012 - If you are interested in your group performing at the ISME World Conference in Summer 2012, contact us for more information. |
