Music China and The MIDI Association continue to work closely together
It may seem counter-intuitive, but the global pandemic actually brought Music China and The MIDI Association closer together.
Because in-person events were impossible over the last few years, we worked together to connect the MIDIable online video content production platform that The MIDI Association uses for all its global meetings with Music China’s WeChat social media platform to bring interactive online sessions on MIDI to people in China over the past two years.
Here are some previous articles on our work with Music China.
