In August, 2002, Itzhak Perlman took 40 students from their summer Perlman Music Program to Shanghai, China. They met with their counterparts at the Shanghai Conservatory of music. There were lessons, master classes, and chamber music coaching, and Perlman conducted and dazzled them with his violin in rehearsals and concerts. The American students gradually came to know the Chinese kids, reaching out to each other over boundaries of language, culture, and their radically different approaches to music. Perlman asked the Chinese students for their own opinions about interpretation. The idea that music can be a means of self-expression and individual assertion - that astonished them. The story of this film is the wake-up message Perlman brought to these young Chinese musicians and basic human questions about self identity and individuality.
