Under the night sky at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the enthusiastic "Radsky March" sounded, through the rustling maple leaf flowers, through the colorful balloon flying house, across the Yangpei Lake "24 Bridges", straight to the distant stars. At the moment, the audience is dancing to the notes and the breeze.

A lake mirroring Jiangnan, overlapping green painted sound. On Nov 12, a lawn concert integrating folk music, opera, symphony and electronic music was held in Yangpi Lake, Fuyang district. As a performance project of the second stage of Hangzhou International Music Festival 2022, Yangpi Lake Lawn Concert is sponsored by Hangzhou Performing Arts Group, Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra and Fuchun Shanju Group.

From the palace of elegant art to the countryside of grassroots culture, from the banks of the Qiantang River in the spring to the Yangpei Lake in the north wind, this Hangzhou International Music Festival has played the harmony of The Times where China and the West are intertwined and culture and tourism are integrated.

Cultural travel fusion of Fuchun painting sound

"Spell it out, do it, fight it out! Under the guidance of this red flag, continue to write red genes." In the afternoon, the first ray of sunshine in the Temple Mountain of Yangpi Lake shines on the artistic publicity group of Zhou Drama Arts Center. They convey the voice of the Party in the form of art, which is passionate and exciting. In the powerful propaganda, the Yangpi Lake Lawn Concert of Hangzhou International Music Festival 2022 was officially launched, which also started the Hangzhou Media Group to study and implement the Party's 20 spiritual literature and art propaganda activities.

With the warm sunshine in early winter, citizens and tourists come to Yangpi Lake where the scenery and sound are harmoniously blended. The melodious songs, melodious music, and magnificent orchestral chorus together outline the infinite vitality and vitality of the landscape beside the Fuchun River, and use the music to draw a brand new "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map".

Walking along the reeds of the ancient wetland, we followed the sound of silk and bamboo to the Miaoshan Lake. The girls of Xizi Guyue of Hangzhou Opera and Dance Theater were playing "Tea Picking Dance Music", "Qingcheng Mountain" and other Song rhymes and elegant music. The whole Yangbei Lake was moving with light rhythm. Later, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai came together in elegant costumes, and the scenery echoed with the "Butterfly Lovers · 18 Farewell".

"The Legend of the White Snake · Broken Bridge", "Meng Lijun · Traveling to the Forest" and "He Wenxiu · Fortune-telling" were staged in turn. The actors of Hangzhou Yue Theatre sang the love swan song that has been passed down for thousands of years, and performed the elegant folk legend.

Music should flow in the veins of the city and the country. The lawn concert held in the charming wetland scenery of "One lake and seven Gardens" on Yangpi Lake extended the Hangzhou International Music Festival from the city center to the surrounding areas, expanding the radius of music to benefit and nourish the people. At the same time, through the organic combination of "landscape and music", the art space of cultural and tourism integration is further optimized.

The music festival also arranged a multi-point immersive performance, under the pavilion, beside the dock, pipa, dulcimer, erhu, guzheng and other folk music with the Fuchun landscape fusion, the audience step by step, between the scenery and music to feel the cultural beauty of Fuchun mountain residence. In a corner of the main hall lawn, the atmosphere was once again brought to a climax by the pop band's rendition of familiar songs.

Landscape symphony into fireworks

At dusk, the bazaar with fireworks and flashing lights decorated the whole lawn into a gorgeous sea of light. As the afterglow dissipated, the Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra played "The End of the Night" on the central lawn stage. In an orchestral piece called "The Light of Asia" -- the overture to the Asian Games, they used Western symphonic language to tell the story of China and convey the spirit of the Asian Games. The folk music ensemble "West Lake Spring", "Picking Red Diamonds", "Pulling Roots and Asparagus Flowers", orchestral music "Pair of Flowers" and "The Sun Comes out in Joy", etc., reconstructed Eastern melodies with Western instrumental music, presenting a credible, lovely and respectable image of China.

Off stage, the female students, facing their peers, capered and exclaimed, "Isn't that the music from our school's recent awards show? It was called the Overture to William Tell!" ; Workers from outside Hangzhou rotated 360 degrees to take in the panorama of the concert and sent it to their relatives in the northwest countryside. The child on his father's shoulder pointed to the front of the stage. "Daddy, where is this light coming from?"

The popularity of classical music tentacles, with thousands of gestures to the deeper and farther places. However, when the same melody slowly sounded by the side of Yangpo Lake, no matter Shostakovich in Europe more than a hundred years ago, or the farmer who was unfamiliar with the violin, the same early winter night appeared in his mind.

Li Liang, head of the Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, said that at a time when the whole country is deeply studying and implementing the Party's 20 Great spirits, the 2022 Hangzhou International Music Festival, under the leadership of the Hangzhou Performing Arts Group, has realized the great integration of the Hangzhou Art troupe, highlighting the cultural heritage of Hangzhou's self-confidence and self-improvement in the tide of the new era.
