On UN Chinese Language Day at the UN Headquarters in New York, composer Luo Wei from the Chinese mainland and lyricist Xu Nuo premiered the third movement "Voice of Humanity" from their symphonic poem "Ode to Peace."
Performed by young singer Zhou Shen, the work blends elements of Chinese civilization with modern orchestration, weaving themes of harmony, concord, and peace into every phrase.
Centering on a global call for goodwill, "Voice of Humanity" reminds us that each individual's sincere effort, though small, can ripple outward to strengthen the bonds of our shared home. The premiere underscores how musical artistry can advance the UN's peace initiatives and foster global governance through cultural exchange.
