Inventive in program design, the Symphony Orchestra of the College of Music Nuremberg arranged the Erhu-symphony orchestra concerto finale of “The Butterfly Lovers”. The harmonizing Erhu and cello showed an incredible fusion of Chinese and western music, testifying that music is without borders and culture is one of the best carriers for exchange between two countries. After the amazing per formance, President Liu Hongyi and Vice President Yang Runhui congratulated the conductor and young artists and took a group photo with them on stage.
Right before he left Shenzhen Polytechnic, conductor Professor G. J. Rumstadt said he was thrilled and delighted at performing here for the beautiful environment, well-equipped Music Hall and well-trained teachers and students. Fond of the poster of the concert, he asked for a copy as a souvenir.
