As a part of China’s Orchestra Festival 2021, the Xi’an Symphony Orchestra held a concert based on Chinese poems of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) accompanied by Western and traditional Chinese musical instruments on Saturday in Beijing.
Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the concert held at the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing was a kind of communication crossing hundreds of years between an ancient capital and the modern one.
