Dear friends, In the golden autumn season, the air is crisp and clear, and China's most important traditional festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, is approaching. I wish you all a happy family reunion and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! If you have ever read "A Dream of Red Mansions", one of the most influential literary classics in Chinese history; if you have watched the 1987 version of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" that has been rebroadcast countless times in China and still remember it; if you have been deeply moved by the unique style, melancholy and extremely beautiful melody in the music of "A Dream of Red Mansions": "This music should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world?" http://www.360doc.com/content/13/0224/10/2788370_267567111.shtml If you have ever remembered the singing voice of the famous singer Chen Li who performed the music of "A Dream of Red Mansions" with a tearful and emotional interpretation; If you have never forgotten the countless popular and widely sung songs, "Island of the Sun", "Songs of Joy Flying from the Waves", "Shaolin, Shaolin", "Shepherd's Song", and "Ocean, My Hometown" that have accompanied a generation's growth and witnessed our youth. . . If you know that all the above touching and timeless beautiful melodies rooted in the heart were written by Mr. Wang Liping, the most famous contemporary Chinese composer; then, when you heard that on the evening of September 20-21, the North American premiere of the "Dream of Red Mansions Symphony Concert" (Mid-Autumn Festival Concert) will be held at the University of Arizona Concert Hall; when you learned that this will be the first time in the 120-year history of the University of Arizona to hold a concert of Chinese music works; When you know that Mr. Wang Liping, who was invited by the Confucius Institute at Asia University to the United States to participate in the second Chinese Culture Festival in Tucson, will attend the concert in person and hold a special interview program on "Dream of Red Mansions"; when you know that singer Chen Li will be invited by the Mid-Autumn Festival Concert to perform all solo and lead vocals in "Dream of Red Mansions Symphony Concert"; when you learn that this Mid-Autumn Festival concert, which has been carefully planned and prepared for more than half a year, will bring together artists and musicians from China and the United States. The School of Music at the University of Arizona, the Arizona Symphony Orchestra, Shaanxi Normal University Chinese Orchestra, Tucson Sino Choir, Arizona Choir, Arizona Boys Choir, etc. will work together, and will be conducted by Mr. Thomas Cockrell of the Arizona Symphony Orchestra. In addition to "Dream of Red Mansions", traditional and modern Chinese music works will also be brought to the audience, including the quintessence of Chinese Peking Opera and the famous musician Tan Dun in the United States. . . You can definitely imagine what an audio-visual feast the Mid-Autumn Festival Concert will bring to the audience.
