Portuguese accordion player Vitor Pastor praised Wuxi's flourishing instrument industry and the exceptional talent of children playing erhu in a recent interview. He also expressed expectations for more visits to Wuxi and engaging in discussions with local artists.

Music has a unifying power, drawing crowds together and showcasing a city's allure and dynamism while nurturing innovative cultural business forms.

As the city pulses with the energy of a music festival in the downtown area, performances of folk music and Xiju Opera grace the historical sites of legendary erhu player Ah Bing's former residence and the Xiju Opera Art Center.

Strolling from Nanchang Street to Shengli Gate, one can savor pingtan storytelling and melodies performed by street musicians.

Throughout history, music has consistently served as Wuxi's most distinctive and captivating symbol.
