At a cultural exhibition in the United Nations headquarters in New York on Thursday, musicians performed jazz music with the saxophone, cello and drums on one side, while other musicians played Chinese tunes with the guqin on another side. Guests drank black tea, white tea, Puer tea and wine, as they enjoyed the music.
