GUANGZHOU — "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, which one is your eye … " The enchanting melody, sung by a group on the autistic spectrum, is as reassuring as the starry sky.

With the sounds of various musical instruments in perfect harmony and the gentle voice of their teacher humming a merry tune, the group is immersed in the world of music in a classroom at the Sunshine Cultural and Sports Center in Nanshan district, Shenzhen.

Yet when the performance ends, they act shyly, looking quietly at their instruments.

The Aite ensemble, however, connects these people with music and love. Its members are all teens and adults, aged 15 to 39.
