The Society has kicked off the development of modern Chinese music, laying an important foundation for the establishment of modern Chinese national orchestras and the cultivation of Chinese musical talents, as well as opening up a new musical chapter for Chinese music.
Two acclaimed plucked-string virtuosos, “Queen of Pipa” Zhang Hongyan and accomplished contemporary guzheng player Luo Jing, will perform the famous pipa piece Blossoms on a Moonlit River in Spring and the well-known zheng work Song of the Homebound Fishermen respectively.
