Opening by a celebration of national orchestral ensemble, "celebrating the overture" insert popular among xinjiang folk song "to send me a rose" and yunnan folk song "creek drips water", in the form of reflections to connect pieces of music, eyes like a multi-ethnic dance scene, harmony and each has its own characteristics, is the Chinese style music more surface profile and warm festival, such a welcome ceremony showed us as the hospitality of the organizers. "Sand sea art scene" is the work of young composer wang danhong for the art scene chamber orchestra. This modern national chamber music work boldly breaks through the expressive force of traditional instruments and tries new timbre. From the beginning of the dialogue, the instrument is filled with a sense of tension. As the music develops, the sound structure becomes more compact, especially in the latter part, when a rapid board comes roaring in, the sounds of various instruments come and go like a cloud pressing on the top of the sky, and the sense of urgency is not relieved until the sound stops abruptly.

The silk road not only served as a bridge of cultural exchange between China and Asian countries, but also entered the music world of eastern and central Europe, as can be seen from musicians we know. Chopin, dvorart and bartok, composers from central European countries, are deeply loved by the Chinese people. Their well-known musical works are highly performed in China, and tonight's concert will show their most ethnic works. Chopin's "hero" polonaise "is performed by the recently concluded international youth piano competition's gold medal winner in the youth group, iron shunshun, whose pulsating dance rhythm and sonorous battle horn are the symbols of polish national music. Before the long and lingering, soprano singer zhang liping led his ears into the endless grassland of eastern Mongolia, where clouds are high and the sky is blue. Beautiful voice did not leave, affectionate "ode to the moon" slowly floating to the moon with a touch of tenderness. This was followed by the Chinese debut of six romanian folk dances by the amber quartet, a chamber music group of which we are proud. They are the only Chinese quartet to have won the highest prize in an international professional chamber music competition. The new arrangement, the new interpretation makes people full of expectations, and if this work lives up to the expectations, the short and concise romanian folk dance music is either warm, or affectionate, or lively, or moving, one breath and one breath shows the tacit understanding between the members of the band.

After listening to the famous works of composers from central European countries, the concert returned to China, one is tan dun's modern work "double fault" for erhu and dulcimer, one is the traditional pipa piece "house of flying daggers", played by professor zhang hongyan and the central conservatory of music. The two works, one modern and one ancient, let us see the present and the past of Chinese music. "Shuangque" describes the mood of ancient hunting, the sound of erhu and dulcimer greatly expanded, multi-level simulation of the real scene, a game between the staged game. The traditional song house of flying daggers is the musical product of the fusion of Chinese culture after the introduction of the pipa into China along the silk road. The pipa player zhang hongyan has adapted its performance form, will be more pipa ambush around the concert hall, with a pipa on the stage to lead the audience to perform in the form of pipa, multi-level sound will surround the audience in the layers of sound waves, there is really a sense of oppression near the enemy.
