Pot-Pourri is an outstanding group to further relations between Australia and China as the artists make a special effort to present some of their performance in Chinese including famous Chinese songs by artists including Teresa Teng. The diversity in Pot-Pourri's performance and the range of international, Chinese and Australian repertoire and interactive comedy crosses all boundaries of background, nationality and culture. Pot-Pourri's dedication to high-quality artistry, humour and diversity results in creating a positive, open and uplifted mood for the audience, whilst projecting a positive image of Australia and its acceptance of other cultures. 

Pot-Pourri’s success is largely due to their ability to be innovative with traditional art forms and adapt to each unique audience. They are clever, fresh and creative thinking and will create a show that is memorable, funny and moving and can highlight any sponsors in a subtle and unique way. The group's performances are an ideal vehicle for inviting and building relationships and networks with important VIPs as they are interactive and bring people together in a powerful and meaningful way. This will enhance the potential for Australian business people to engage effectively with China across all sectors of business, arts, industry, education, finance, government and trade. The group has often been engaged to perform for major trade expos and VIP gala dinner events to bridge links between different cultures including Australia-Germany Association, Taiwan Australia Business Council etc.
