Continue the historical bloodline and play the voice of the times. On the 27th, the NCPA's "2024 Walking Classics" series of performances - "To the Classics" Changying Orchestra Symphony Concert was grandly held in the · Concert Hall of the NCPA. Following the special performance of "July 1st", the Changying Orchestra once again appeared on the stage of the National Centre for the Performing Arts after a month, and joined hands with a number of artists to perform, taking Changying's classic film music as the main line, leading the audience to travel through time and space, relive those unforgettable melodies engraved in the hearts of several generations, and exquisitely demonstrate the artistic heritage and profound skills of the first national film symphony orchestra in New China. The scene was full of seats and the response was enthusiastic.
Under the baton of the famous conductor Xu Zhijun, the concert kicked off the whole performance with the majestic and passionate "Legend" as the overture.
The concert is divided into three chapters: "History", "Youth", and "Seeing the Future". The Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Changying Group solemnly took the stage to talk about "Hello, Changying" and "Walking to the Light", which affectionately expressed the spirit of the "cradle of new Chinese films" of generations of Changying film workers who have erected statues for the times, sang for the people, and cast souls for the nation.
Literature and art are the clarion call for the progress of the times. At the concert, the Changying Orchestra joined hands with the image ambassador of the Changying Orchestra and the young tenor Wang Kai, the young singer Cao Fujia, the young tenor Wang Zenan, the young singer Liu Ting of the Changying Orchestra, and the young singer Dai Wei jointly performed more than 10 well-adapted movie interludes and classic string music born in different eras, such as "Song of the Plateau", "Prairie Morning Song", "Red Star Follows Me to Fight", "Because of You", "Pursuit", "Velvet Flower", "Dream Country", "Long Live the People", "Around the Mountains and Forests", etc. It conveys the determination and belief of literary and artistic workers to pay tribute to the classics, draw nourishment from the classics, and strive to write a new era.
With the orchestral music "My Motherland" of the same name adapted from the episode of the movie "Shangganling", the whole concert ended successfully. Performing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts twice in one month, the Changying Orchestra demonstrated its superb musical innovation ability and outstanding performance strength to the audience in the capital, and also allowed the audience to deeply appreciate the rich artistic connotation and eternal charm of classic music. Changying Orchestra will continue to adhere to the artistic concept of "inheriting classics and innovating the future", presenting more wonderful music works to the audience and singing the song of the times.
