There are 19 Centers in 16 provinces, each housed on the campus of a Chinese university. The ACCT program creates unprecedented opportunities for visiting artists and student audiences to meet, interact, and share. Through performances, master classes, workshops, seminars, and discussions, the ACCT program facilitates active, informed engagement between cultures. The ACCT program enriches the lives of the students involved, and sends American artists home with a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and society. In 2015, the program continued to thrive, including workshops, lectures and performances by renowned jazz musicians and Alexander Bernstein, the son of American composer Leonard Bernstein. 47150 0 0 General Program - Ping Pong Productions specializes in cultural exchange between China and the world.
