Samsung Marriage of Excellence

Concert Television Special

A Marriage of Excellence brings together the world's best aspiring disabled artists in concert with the greatest stars living with disabilities in a one-hour performance that took place live in Beijing between the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Arts unite both the physical and creative aspects of humanity - it is our bridge to cross-cultural understanding. These unique musical and cultural shows deliver the highest quality entertainment performances as International and Eastern stars take to the stage alongside artists living with disabilities.

Artists who have travelled the journey with us in  "A Quest for Excellence"  reach their destination to perform live in Beijing with the likes of Sheila E. and C.O.E.D., Evelyn Glennie, S.H.E., Cui Jian, Oliver Jones, Levon Ichkhanian, Lee Hee ah, Andy Lau, Justin Hines, Lang Lang, Coach Matalwe, Ma Li and Zhang Xiaowei, Kitorah, Tony Deblois and Yang Guang to name a few.

This performance is billed A Marriage of Excellence and will certainly give you something to talk about because not only does it unite established and aspiring artists, but it also unites cultures from around the world through the unique and varied expression of the performing arts.

The title song composed for this event is Make Them Believe. It is the anthem which captures the spirit of the dream.
