Under the theme "Voices Across the Waters: Children's Choirs United at West Lake", the Hangzhou choir opened with the city song Dream Paradise, followed by One Voice's rendition of the Chinese song As You Wish, joined by their Chinese peers. The event concluded with a joint performance of We Are Together, highlighting friendship through music.
