The concert kicked off with the creation of "Laughing Spring Breeze" by Chinese young symphonic composer Li Shaosheng. The work depicts the scene and emotional world of chivalry, serving the country and the people for the audience. The full and dynamic performance of the violin left the live audience mesmerized.

 

The concert presents innovative achievements in the development of Chinese music in the new era at a high level. For example, there is the commissioned work of the 10th China Music Award "Golden Bell Award" erhu competition, "Amanisha", which blends romanticism and impressionism together. It is a dreamy symphonic poem with a rich Western style and unique characteristics. The erhu tells the mysterious story of the ancient Yarkand Khanate, deeply infecting the audience on site. There is also the commissioned work "Nine Horses" by the Pittsburgh New Music Troupe in the United States, created by Ye Xiaogang, the chairman of the Chinese Musicians Association. The melody of the work is inspired by Chinese Peking Opera and folk music from Vietnam and Indonesia. The fusion of Eastern style lyricism and Western modern music makes this work present vivid timbre, rhythm, and high passion.

 

 

The wonderful performance brought continuous applause from the live audience, and cheers echoed throughout the concert hall.

 

The sound of music transcends national borders

 

Extraordinary power that transcends time and space

 

Using music as a medium and art as a bridge

 

The classic and innovative music works of this performance have enabled the people of China and the UK to have a deeper understanding of each other's long and brilliant historical and cultural heritage, effectively promoting cultural exchange and mutual learning between the East and the West. As one of the youngest symphony orchestras in China, artists from Wuxi Symphony Orchestra showcase the innovative achievements of localized development of Chinese symphony and the unique charm of modern development of Jiangnan music to the audience with their high spirited style and professional skills.
