Peng Liyuan joins youth choir during Smithsonian visit
Peng Liyuan attended a performance by the Hope Chinese School youth choir at Washington’s Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, where footage showed the Chinese soprano quietly singing along to “Jasmine Flower” as children waved Chinese and American flags.
Chinese soprano Peng Liyuan attended a youth choir performance at the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art on Thursday, during a visit hosted by Melania Trump. The Hope Chinese School youth choir performed “Jasmine Flower”, a familiar Chinese song, while waving Chinese and American national flags, according to footage described by the South China Morning Post. The footage showed Peng watching the performance with a smile.
She also appeared to move her lips along with the lyrics and softly hum along as the choir sang. The visit took place while the women’s husbands held talks at the White House. The supplied account does not provide further details about the discussions, the wider programme or what was said by either host.
The performance placed music and the children’s presentation at the centre of the museum visit. The available material ends as the song concludes and does not describe any remarks or further events.
