The CGTN launches the theme song of the Winter Olympics “musical relay”

CGTN’s Musical Journey kicked off an all-new special edition of the Winter Olympics on Saturday, bringing together musicians from home and abroad to produce a Beijing 2022-themed musical composition “Together, for a Shared Future.”

The four musicians from different cultural backgrounds are required to produce one minute each of composition based on their own musical styles and understanding of winter sports and Beijing 2022 within seven days in a relay format. The end result will be an exclusive Olympic-themed melody for CGTN.
