Consul General Stein joined senior leadership from Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) in New York, Shanghai Bund Investment Group senior executives, and local government officials to open JALC Shanghai, a venture in the making since 2012 that seeks to preserve the Shanghai Bund’s historical legacy and cultural elements. The evening began with formal remarks and a ribbon-cutting ceremony, before concluding with a live jazz performance that included classic American jazz standards and well-received interpretations of traditional Chinese classics, such as “The Moon Represents My Heart” (“月亮代表我的心”).
