The "Love Song" neo-classical concert, co-sponsored by Xiamen Lianfa Commercial Property Co., Ltd. and Breeze Orchestra, was performed by well-known Taiwanese musician Yang Mu and MU Neoclassical Orchestra, Xiamen Xinghai Choir and "Song of the Wind" new folk song group, cross-classical and pop.
The performance is divided into four chapters: "Overture", "Song of the World", "Rose Chanson" and "Century Love Song", including modern interpretations of classical music such as "Canon", "Serenade" and "Drinking Song", as well as new interpretations of golden songs of the times such as "Woman Flower", "Moon Niang of the Zenith" and "If Love Has Providence", as well as "Love Poems for Xiamen", "Three Odes to Xiamen" and "Ruan's Triangle Plum" and other Xiamen city love songs created by the two sides of the strait. These music works cover English songs, Chinese songs, Hokkien songs, etc.
According to the organizers, the event skillfully integrates Eastern and Western classical musical instruments in a new form, and through on-site heart-warming interaction, the performers on stage and the audience can trace the origin and original purity of music together, and return to the artistic aesthetic value of music itself.
What is striking is that the "point stage", which is full of common memories of both sides of the strait, has also been "moved" back to the stage of this concert. Before the performance, the audience interacted with the song through social platforms, and the golden songs of the times, such as "Blue and White Porcelain", "Like You" and "My Beauty", triggered a chorus of the audience, and the scene was romantic and warm.
At the same time, the "Music Floating Island" trunk market was also held in Lianfa Huamei Space, bringing together food, tea, trendy handicrafts, intangible cultural heritage, clothing and decorations, etc., with "sales + fun" and "experience + social" and other consumption scenes full of strong "trendy flavor", bringing citizens and tourists an immersive cultural tourism consumption experience of seeing, listening, shopping and playing.
In addition to the "Love Song" neo-classical concert, a special event of "Mu Sheng" music study room was also arranged on the same day, and Yang Mu shared the creative experience of musicians and the listening experience of singers in the form of an annual meeting with listeners.
Yang Mu said that he hopes to share his views on Chinese pop music with the public who love music through this music festival.
According to the organizers, every weekend in the coming week, the Huamei Music Season and Chinese Aesthetics Music Festival will also present a gathering of poems and musical notes at Lianfa Huamei Space, including a literary lecture by young educator Fang Longjie on "The Beauty of Chinese Culture", a series of activities such as the Taiwan Symphony Orchestra Mumu Orchestra's "Falling in Love with Classical Music" classical music class and the "music bye" 2023 farewell party, so that more good music can be heard and the "beauty" of Chinese culture can be appreciated together.
