On Monday, the orchestra embraced Beijing's urban fabric, engaging in meaningful cultural exchanges through its music.
Besides Yongdingmen, the orchestra's musicians visited two other iconic landmarks along Beijing Central Axis — the Temple of Heaven on Monday and the Drum Tower on Tuesday. These performances served as a unique opportunity to bring music to some of the city's most historic sites, creating an immersive experience outside the concert hall's walls.
"We are happy and proud to have five concerts in Beijing. It's very special for us during our anniversary season. We are celebrating our 125th anniversary with a whole season of highlights, and one of the highlights is our residency in Beijing," says Jan Nast, intendant of the orchestra.
