I felt so honored to be a special guest that I could enjoy the Stravinsky's "Firebird" played by Philadelphia Orchestra and South Africa large puppet drama group. I enjoyed the wonderful music played by the world-class Orchestra. The music was combined with the South African element—dance. And the smart giant puppet show was added, too. The music had an incredible effect because of the influence of different forms of art. In the process of rehearsal, we saw that the actors were hard-working and the people behind the scene were all concentrated. We deeply appreciated the cultural heritage brought by Philadelphia Orchestra.
In the afternoon, we visited the Independence Palace and learned the important moment of American history. Freedom, democracy and independence showed far-reaching meaning on this land against the blue sky and white clouds. We hoped that the members could deeply feel the essence of American culture.
