On July 23, the Guangzhou Symphony Youth Orchestra, headquartered in Guangdong province, performed both Chinese and Western classical pieces there to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Hungary, using music to narrate a cultural story of harmony and shared destiny.
After concluding the concert, the youth orchestra also made their debut at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing on Friday performing the same pieces.
"The music we performed during the concerts was technically and artistically demanding. We worked very hard during rehearsals and did our best in our performances. I am very proud," says Jing Huan, the youth orchestra's music director and principal conductor. She adds that over 100 members of the orchestra, mostly students from middle schools in Guangzhou, performed in Budapest.
