During the summer of 2008, the Adrian College choir traveled to Beijing, China, where they performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the TanJien Symphony Orchestra in the Forbidden City Concert Hall. The choir also performed in Shanghai where they received standing ovations from their Chinese audiences. These concerts were part of the Opening Ceremonies for the 2008 Summer Olympics Music Festival made possible by Kingsway International.

GET INVOLVED: Research in 2007 shows that almost three-quarters of today's business executives (73%) were involved in some type of music program while in school. Just over three quarters (77%) recommend their children get involved in music at their schools and just under half (47%) support music programs by donating money. Cumulatively, the longer that executives participated in music programs, the more successful they became in life.
