Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province launched its celebratory events for the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China with a grand music concert on Sept 26.

The concert started amid sound of the solemn national anthem – March of the Volunteers. The Wuxi Symphony Orchestra opened the evening with symphonic artworks such as the Ode to the Red Flag, Wuxi Overture, and Vltava.

Conducted by renowned Chinese conductor Lin Daye, the Wuxi Symphony Orchestra presented audiences an auditory feast of Eastern and Western classics, such as excerpts from the opera Carmen, the violin concerto The Butterfly Lovers and the rousing rendition of I Love You, China.

The performance also featured acclaimed artists such as French pianist Michel Dalberto, Chinese violinist Huang Mengla, and Chinese vocalists Li Xiuying, Xue Haoyin, Cai Jingwen and Zhou Zhengzhong, whose brilliant performance won a lengthy applause from the audience.

Distinguished guests of the night included representatives from nearly 20 resident foreign chambers of commerce and associations, including the EU Chamber of Commerce and the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce. 

Around 300 Wuxi-based educationalists, engineers and enterprise executives from countries including France, Germany, Japan and South Korea, along with 150 compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas enjoyed a wonderful concert at the Wuxi Grand Theatre.

The concert concluded with a symphonic choir performance of My Motherland by the Wuxi Shanhe Chorus, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
