Programme

Overview

Guangzhou Xingyue Choir, conducted by Chang Qing, performs a choral concert of Chinese-style (guofeng) songs with soloists on traditional instruments.

The concert is built around guofeng, a Chinese-style song genre, sung by the choir in multi-part harmony. The first half is titled "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon - Tender Love" and the second half "Rivers, Lakes and Court - Free-Spirited Heroes". The songs range from settings of classical Chinese poetry to themes from well-known martial-arts films and television series and recent pop songs.

The choir is conducted by Chang Qing, with Cao Shanshan as piano accompanist. Soloists are Huang Cong (percussion), Liang Miaocui (gaohu), Qiu Lan (opera-style vocals), Huang Huimin (guzheng), Li Ziyin (pipa) and Deng Zichuan (xiao and dizi). Guangzhou Children's Radio Choir appears as a guest.
