Celebrating the Chinese New Year

Celebrating the imminent start of the Chinese New Year on February 10, 2024, China’s NCPA Orchestra presents an astounding selection of works by Chinese and Western composers. The rousing Spring Festival Overture begins the programme with a performance done in partnership with the China National Traditional Orchestra along with three other orchestras. We also hear Ravel’s Boléro and MA Sicong’s Second Symphony following. Listeners will be thrilled by pipa virtuoso LI Jia’s performance of the concerto Little Sisters of the Grassland, and the broadcast closes with LÜ Jia conducting Brahms' Symphony No. 3.
