Ormandy in China: The Historic 1973 Tour
November 2, 2012-October 31, 2014
Comment on Facebook
The 1973 tour of China by the Philadelphia Orchestra marked an important milestone in relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. Following on the heels of Richard Nixon's trip to visit Mao Zedong in 1972, the tour was a successful attempt at cultural diplomacy--the first visit to China by an American orchestra. In recognition of the fortieth anniversary of this historic tour, Ormandy in China reexamines the ten-day visit and places the tour in the context of the political and cultural climate of the time.
