Symphony Hall celebrates New Year
Online Edition
TRADITIONAL Chinese music pieces will be performed by a modern orchestra and traditional music instruments at the Spring Festival Concert at Shanghai Symphony Hall on February 6, the evening before the Chinese New Year’s Eve.
Conducted by Yan Huichang, the orchestra will cooperate with Chinese musicians like Wen Zhenfa, a master of the sheng (a reed pipe wind instrument), Su Chang, a young guzheng talent, and Inner Mongolian musician Mai La Su, known for his expertise on horsehead fiddle, Khoomei (overtone singing) and kouhuang, an instrument similar to Jew’s harp.
The selected programs present a combination of traditional Chinese music and Western elements with a contemporary interpretation.
Li Huanzhi’s “Spring Festival Overture” depicts the great joy of the Chinese during their New Year’s celebration with the cheerful sound of gongs and drums as the orchestra further enhances the atmosphere.
Zhang Haofu’s “Symphony No. 1 Chang’an” skillfully combines melodies of Shaanxi folk music and elements of Western religious chanting with contemporary composition.
Khoomei, horsehead fiddle and kouhuang will help bring the prairie from Inner Mongolia to Shanghai together with the orchestra in Tang Jianping’s “The Source.”
Other programs include Wang Danhong’s “Ru Shi” for guzheng and orchestra, Enjott Schneider’s “Changes” for sheng and orchestra, and Zhu Jian’er’s “Sketch of the Guizhou Ranges.”
“I hope the concert will be a good New Year’s celebration for the Shanghai audiences,” said Yan, the conductor.
