It is reported that the China National Symphony Orchestra’s New Year’s concert at the Great Hall of the People has long-term intentions. To this end, the State Council not only launched the highly symbolic exclusive New Year concert brand "Voice of China", but also signed an agreement with the Great Hall of the People for five years, that is to say, starting from December 30, 2010, at least continuously On December 30, five years ago, the China National Symphony Orchestra will present the "Voice of China" New Year's concert to the audience on time at the Great Hall of the People. This is only the first step of the China National Symphony Orchestra's plan. As we all know, the annual Vienna New Year's Concert is the most influential New Year's Concert in the world. Its performance format and repertoire have therefore become the objects of imitation by countries around the world. However, this has inevitably resulted in homogeneity and a lack of novelty. Due to the shortcomings of its characteristics, the State Council launched "Voice of China" this time, striving to be innovative in both form and content, gradually forming a difference from other New Year's concerts, and finally making "Voice of China" a reserved performance. Relying on this A brand creates a New Year's concert with Chinese characteristics.
"Sinicization of symphony, internationalization of Chinese symphony" will be the first new idea conveyed by the China National Symphony Orchestra's first "Voice of China" grand New Year concert. It is reported that the preliminary repertoire for this concert has been released. From the composition of symphonic works by Chinese composers, famous works by world classical masters, and Strauss family waltzes, they fully reflect Chinese elements and world elements*** Based on the Strauss family's repertoire, it is obviously a top priority to continuously introduce new original outstanding symphonic works by Chinese composers and famous works by world classical masters, and to form a repertoire among them. China National Symphony Orchestra " The repertoire of the "Voice of China" New Year's Concert will be produced here.
The format of the New Year’s concert is innovative, and the China National Symphony Orchestra will promote “chief culture”. To the audience, when mentioning the concertmaster, most people will think that he is just the business leader of the violin section of the symphony orchestra, or the most senior musician in the section. The difference from other members of the orchestra is that before the start of each concert, after all the members of the orchestra have taken their seats, the concertmaster will appear alone to receive applause from the audience, lead the musicians to tune and audition, and then stand up first to welcome the conductor. During the performance The conductor uses his eyes to help the conductor coordinate the performance of the parts, and accepts the conductor's thanks on behalf of the actors during the performance. Apart from this, it is difficult for the audience to see the figure of the orchestra's concertmaster, and there are even less opportunities to appreciate the performance of the concertmaster's skills. The "Voice of China" New Year's Concert will break this impression. Liu Yunzhi, China's number one concertmaster, has been specially arranged to perform with the orchestra, lead and even solo. His interaction with the orchestra conductor will also become a highlight. , the one-man show conducted by the conductor in previous concerts will evolve into a duet of red flowers and green leaves. At the same time, the "Voice of China" New Year's Concert will set up a "Salute to China's Role Models" link, that is, each year's concert will have a work dedicated to those whose deeds in the past year have the spiritual power to move China. Groups or individuals who will be invited to the scene to receive applause and respect from the audience. It is reported that in order to build the "Voice of China" New Year's Concert into a successful concert brand, the China National Symphony Orchestra will form an honorary art committee composed of representatives of music fans from all walks of life for this concert to participate in various aspects of the concert. The organization and preparation of this work will maximize the role of social forces that are willing to support the development of the orchestra.
