One of the most outstanding professional orchestras in China, this revered ensemble is renowned for its splendid artistry, tremendous dedication and consummate professionalism. Founded in 1956, the China National Symphony Orchestra has spent the last half century promoting Chinese symphonic works to audiences across the globe while introducing Chinese audiences to an expansive repertoire of orchestral works by both Western and Asian Composers.  The China National Symphony Orchestra is made up of an outstanding team of instrumentalists, many of whom have won prizes in national and international competitions. 

One of the pieces to be performed is the opening movement of Requiem for the Earth by Xia Guan, composer and the director of China National Symphony Orchestra, written in remembrance of the people of the Sichuan province following the devastating 2008 earthquake.
 

Their program to be performed is as follows: 

       Xia Guan                               First Movement of Requiem for the Earth
      
Chengzong Yin/Zhuang Liu       Yellow River Piano Concerto
                                                Piano Soloist: Peng-Peng Gong or Wu Muye
