Staying in Hangzhou, foreigners, international students, citizens, and representatives from the Belt and Road going-out enterprises and BRLC partners got together to experience Chinese and Western romance in melodic music.
Hong Yin, the conductor of Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, performed the concert. It kicked off in the lively and magnificent overture of Ruslan and Lyudmila. Sabre Dance and Bengawan Solo depicted the folk customs of countries and regions along the Belt and Road. Voices of Spring, Thunder and Lightning, Moon River, and other classical and modern repertoires were staged sequentially. The traditional folk songs of China, such as Purple Bamboo Melody and Flower Duet, were reinterpreted in an orchestral manner to form the dialogue between China and Western countries jointly, constitute the auditory feast integrating the past and the present, receive prolonged applause from audiences, and create a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere of New Year.
