The ancient Tianjin Concert Hall, free from the hustle and bustle of the city, uses its century-old charm to accept the graceful music of American singers and welcome the passionate collision of Li Bai and Faust. Dean Shi of Tianjin Conservatory of Music first delivered a speech at the opening of the concert and solemnly introduced it to the audience19Tian Haojiang, a Chinese opera performing artist who signed a contract with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, as well as outstanding artists from the United States, Italy, Uruguay, and China who came to perform. The party was hosted by Tian Haojiang, who briefly introducedInternational Young Vocalists Chinese Singing Project, and revealed that every singer who came has received systematic course guidance on Chinese culture and Chinese and Western repertoire, so their performance this time not only focused on the sound of music, but also focused on the accurate expression of emotions.

In the following performance, the audience experienced the singers' passionate performance. You can imagine how surprised and moved the audience was when singers from overseas sang "Ode to the Yellow River", "The Waves of Honghu Lake", "Poet Li Bai" and "I Love You, China" in Chinese. When the familiar tones and the clear melody of the piano are slowly transmitted through the ancient wooden door panels, Westernized white walls, and golden hollow carvings in the silent concert hall, the audience seems to be in the ocean where Chinese and Western civilizations meet and cannot extricate themselves. For famous foreign excerpts such as "Don Juan", "Faust" and "Manon Lescaut", the audience may not understand every line, but the wonderful artistic performance of the singers allows the audience to understand every plot. Either the entanglement of love and hate for betrayal, the decadence and dissoluteness of a life of extravagance, or the anger and shame towards the suitor, all revealed in the singers' frowned brows, confused eyes, and shy smiles, winning heartfelt praise from the audience.

Sitting on the train back to Beijing, the singers hummed one performance after another and recited Chinese poems, which made other passengers in the carriage look back frequently and raise the corners of their mouths. Obviously, despite the language barrier,Vocal music has no borders. This most direct, touching, civilized and elegant form of expression has undoubtedly become a high-level way to promote and spread the Chinese language and Chinese music culture. For foreign senior intellectuals, people in social circles, and people in the music and art circles, vocal music is also a very important and new form that attracts them to enhance their understanding of China. Therefore, we believe and expectThe International Young Vocalists Chinese Singing Project will show even more outstanding results in future activities!
