Held at the esteemed West Road Concert Hall, nestled within the renowned University of Cambridge's Faculty of Music, this special performance promises an evening immersed in the rich tapestry of Chinese culture through an array of captivating artistic expressions.

This performance presents an unparalleled artistic feast, bringing together diverse art forms such as national orchestral music, string music, dance, and chorus.

From the classic "Overture to a Dream of Red Chamber" to the passionate “The Song of Heroes", the performance leads the audience to travel through time and space, experiencing the beauty of the blend of classics and modernity.

The dances "Ode to Bamboo" and "The Flying Peacock" are poetic and picturesque, showing the unique and profound Chinese culture.

In addition, the majestic momentum of “Soaring Dragons and Leaping Tigers", the cheerful of “Happy”, and the soulful singing of “Rolling in the Deep” all push the atmosphere of the scene to one climax after another.

The dances "Esmeralda" and “A Maze of Stars and Spring Water" bring visual enjoyment to the audience with superb dance skills and profound artistic meaning.

In the end, the choir uses two touching songs, “What I Adore" and "365 Days of Missing You", to interpret their yearning for happiness and longing for families and writes a perfect finale for the entire performance.
