Last week, Shanghai witnessed two unforgettable musical events that bridged continents and cultures, organized by The Expatriate Center (TEC), with the support of various government parties and partners.
上周，外籍人士中心 (TEC) 在相关领导单位的支持下，组织了两场跨越洲际的音乐盛典让上海沉浸在浓郁的艺术氛围中。
On June 12, the Harvard Krokodiloes—Harvard University’s legendary a cappella group—joined forces with local talents for "Harmony Without Borders Unity in Diversity Concert" at the Pudong Art Museum.
6月12日，哈佛大学鳄鱼合唱团（Harvard Krokodiloes）与本地艺术团体在浦东美术馆联合呈现"和谐无界 众声同心音乐会"。
The evening featured a special collaborative performance between the Krokodiloes and ELG's Orange Band—a group of students with autism, Down syndrome, and other disabilities—whose joint song became one of the night's most heartwarming moments. The program also included electrifying sets by the Shanghai Yangjing High School Male Choir and a lively Q&A session with the Harvard students.
当晚的亮点之一，是鳄鱼合唱团与ELG橙子乐队（由自闭症、唐氏综合征等特殊学生组成）的动人合作演出，温暖了全场观众。此外，上海市洋泾中学男声合唱团的精彩表演和哈佛学子的问答环节也令人印象深刻。
The following night, June 13, the "Super Sounds, Super Minds" closing gala of the "Vibrant Hongqiao" International Community Festival took center stage at the Shanghai Hongqiao International School Theater. The Harvard Krokodiloes returned as special guests, performing alongside local stars like the Shanghai School for the Blind’s folk ensemble and the Jianqing Experimental School’s dance troupes. The event celebrated "harmony without borders" through collaborative pieces such as "Auld Lang Syne", uniting voices across cultures.
次日6月13日，"活力IN红桥"国际社区美好生活节 的压轴展演"最美音乐，最强大脑"在上海虹桥国际外籍人员子女学校剧场举行。哈佛鳄鱼合唱团作为特邀嘉宾，与上海市盲童学校民乐团、建青实验学校舞蹈团等本地团体同台献艺。中外合唱《友谊地久天长》等环节，完美诠释了"音乐无界"的主题。
Both events highlighted the power of music to foster international camaraderie and inclusivity. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated volunteers, who managed seating, staging, registration, and cleanup—their tireless efforts ensured these celebrations resonated flawlessly.
两场活动均展现了音乐跨越文化和地域界限的力量。特别感谢所有志愿者——从观众座位的安排、表演嘉宾的舞台协调，到观众签到的引导以及演出后的场地清理，你们的辛勤付出让每一个细节都闪耀着光芒！
