The embassy said that the theater is known for its historic 742-seater, which has hosted numerous state and international performances. It organized the event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Philippines-China relations.
“Music transcends borders. It speaks to the soul without the need for translation. It is a powerful bridge that connects cultures, conveys emotions, and nurtures friendships,” Ambassador Jaime FlorCruz said in a statement on Sunday.
“The angelic voices of the Loboc Children’s Choir bring not just the melodies of the Philippines, but the spirit of a people who, like our Chinese friends, value harmony, family, and the beauty of shared traditions,” FlorCruz added.

The concert is part of the choir’s three-day visit to Beijing.
