It is proudly supported by the Consulate General of Italy in Guangzhou, reflecting CIS’s ongoing collaboration with international institutions to promote cultural exchange through education and the arts. 

The recital also forms part of a broader community cultural initiative in collaboration with Garden Hotel Guangzhou, extending the reach of the arts beyond the school campus.
