On the 24th, it was reported that the "Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China with a Beautiful Celebration - National Day Symphony Concert" and the "Sharing the Time Across the World - China Switzerland Youth Art Festival" and Mid Autumn Festival Concert, jointly organized by the Stockholm Chinese Cultural Center and the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, were recently performed at the Stockholm Concert Hall and Uppsala University Auditorium, respectively. The Stockholm Concert Hall, with a history of 98 years, is also known as the "Blue Concert Hall" and is the place where the Nobel Prize is awarded every year. The arrival of the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra has attracted the attention of local people in Sweden, and tickets were already scarce a week before the performance. The orchestra has carefully arranged the repertoire for this concert, selecting classic works by Western composers such as Dvo řá k and Brahms that are familiar to Nordic audiences, as well as many classic or newly created Chinese pieces such as "Ode to the Red Flag" and "Beautiful Flowers and Full Moon". The head of the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, Gao Shanfeng, told reporters, "In order to tell the story of China and showcase the splendor of Shanghai, we have chosen Mr. Lv Qiming's orchestral overture 'Ode to the Red Flag' as the opening piece of this National Day Symphony Concert. This is also the first time a Chinese orchestra has performed 'Ode to the Red Flag' in Sweden. In addition, we have also performed the original work 'Suhe Bay' by '90s composer Gong Tianpeng, which is full of Shanghai style characteristics.' The orchestra has also adapted the famous song 'Tone' by Swedish composer Carl Scheberg into a symphonic version, perfectly fitting the significance of this' Swedish Music Tour '- to build a bridge of friendship through music and play a beautiful symphony of the integration and mutual learning of Eastern and Western civilizations. Stockholm high school student Bella excitedly expressed after the performance that she had just participated in the Chinese Cultural Festival market and consulted about studying abroad in China. "The suona instrument deeply shocked me today, and if I have the opportunity to study abroad in China, I will definitely further research it." In the concert held in the Uppsala University auditorium, the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra showcased the charm of Chinese culture to students studying here, playing classic works such as "Flowers and Full Moon" and "Good Night". Chinese Ambassador to Sweden Cui Aimin stated that Uppsala's diverse and inclusive cultural atmosphere provides a good platform for Chinese and Swedish youth to enhance understanding, deepen friendship, and expand cooperation. He hopes to promote interaction and resonance between the youth of the two countries in cultural exchanges through activities such as the "Boundaries of the World - China Switzerland Youth Art Festival" and Mid Autumn Festival Concert, and continue to deepen China Switzerland friendship.
