When we say that it is "folk", it is precisely because they may have a large or small effect on individual people and individual groups.What kind of role appears in this role is inaccurate.In this process, some people may gain warmth and inspiration; some people may have a seed in their hearts, and their lives will change.
At the beginning of the year, a group of Suzhou friends came from the United States to Singapore. When I ate together, they heard them talk about their trip to the United States. Only then did they know that they had performed in Philadelphia and New York.Since 2014, Suzhou has hosted the International Shengle Art Festival and recruited outstanding young singers in the world to spread and promote culture and art.This time, the six young composers from different countries will be composed of Tang poetry such as the Tang poetry of Gu Yuancao for the Jingye Si; and 15 singers from 10 countries are accompanied by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra.Deducting Chinese.This performance is called the echo of Tang poetry. In early January, the member of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Propaganda Minister Jin Jie led the team to conduct at the Golden Merk Performance Art Center and the Lincoln Center in New York, Philadelphia.
Why go to Philadelphia?Friends said that the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra went to China in 1973. It was also the first American Symphony Orchestra to visit China. Therefore, Suzhou was not only a New Year's performance this time, but also commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra's visit to China.
In 1971, after China and the United States conducted ping -pong diplomacy in April, Kissingh, who served as assistant to the US President's National Security Affairs in July, went to Beijing in July to prepare for the 1972 US President Nixon's visit to China.In the middle of 1973, the American men's and women's basketball team also visited China.In September of the same year, it was music diplomacy, and it was the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra who visited China.Philadelphia is the first capital after the United States, and the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra is one of the five major symphony orchestras in the United States.At that time, the Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Enlai invited them to tour in Beijing, and believed that after careful consideration and many fine arrangements.The Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra in China was 73 -year -old and Hungarian -born American conductor Emperor Umani.He once hosted the righteous performance in 1940 to support the medical work of Bethune and the Eighth Route Army.
Huang Ping, the Consul General in New York, Dwest Evans, a member of the United States, and the Mayor of Philadelphia Gim Kenny attended the echo of the Tang poetry.The report quoted Huang Ping said that the performance once again showed that humanistic exchanges were an inexhaustible motivation to promote the development of Sino -US relations.We should not forget that in early January, the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still demanded passengers from China to show negative proof of coronary virus detection within 48 hours before boarding.For cultural exchanges, personnel exchanges are not exactly convenient.However, according to Suzhou friends, the audience was very enthusiastic in the performance of the United States, and the audience was very enthusiastic.
I watched the relevant videos on the Internet, it really feels good.
Because of this wedge, I found some information and saw that American female journalist Jennifer Lin published Beethoven in Beijing in 2021. He also ficked the documentary of the same name with the director Sharon Mullally.EssenceI can't find this film broadcast on the public TV company on the Internet, but from the video or lecture from the discussion or lectures participated by Lin Zhenni, she learned that she showed China's interest in Western classical music through access to some characters, collecting information, etc.Recorded this period of 1973.
Tan Dun, a well -known American Chinese composer, also talked about his experience at the time.During the Cultural Revolution of the Cultural Revolution of the Cultural Revolution, the teenager cut into line in the suburbs of Hunan, and one day he heard the music sounded in the farm horn in the field.A friend asked him if he wanted to listen to interesting music and told him that it was called "Symphony". The Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra was in China.Tan Dun said that this was the first time he he heard what was "symphony".In the fall of 1973, he was deeply moved by the symphony performance of the big horn.He said that during the Cultural Revolution, he was a shaman (wizard) in rural high schools and directed the band at the wedding and funeral.The wonderful music of the Philadelphia Symphony changed his thoughts. He did not want to be "Eastern Sa Man", but instead be the command of the "Western Saoman" -the conductor of the Western Symphony Orchestra.
Another Chinese commander Cai Jindong, a Chinese commander who was a professor of Stanford University and the Dean of the American -China Music Institute of Bud College, recalled at a symposium that when the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra visited China, he was still young. During the Cultural Revolution, during the Cultural Revolution,They are still able to learn musical instruments, but only revolutionary music can be played at the time.When he was studying the violin in Beijing, he remembered that when the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra visited, he reported the news and photos of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra on the cover. He was very excited.Cai Jindong particularly emphasized that the tour of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra was not news of music at the time, but news that the entire society was concerned.
After the Four of the Philadelphia performed in Beijing in September 1973, the People's Daily has an article from the "Central Orchestra Morning Star" handwritten article.Six Symphony (pastoral) brought people into a painting realm: clear streams, beautiful birds; rough and rough villagers' dance; suddenly the wind and rain, the lightning and thunder, the clouds were foggy, the field was fresh ...… Beethoven's rich ideas and beautiful strokes depicts the mood of the Vienna pastoral scenery and composer in the early 19th century. Their performances show these artistic conceptions very vividly.Directed Beethoven's fifth symphony. The handling of music is rigorous, magnificent, and full of passion. Especially the transition paragraph of the victory of the fourth movement of the fourth movement, the excitement has continued to rise, and the sound and strength are step by step.Until the apex, the entire band played the magnificent cars with the most brilliant sound, which is exciting. "
The author wrote at the end of the article: "On September 16th, Chinese and American artists collaborated for the first time to perform the piano concerto Yellow River. The healthy and heal piano echoed the band with full and full band, which deeply excited the audience.The success of the first cooperation of the United States artists in the United States reflects the profound friendship between the people of China and the United States. "
Today we read such a manuscript and may feel "nothing", but at that time, the text of the symphony orchestra's performance of the symphony orchestra was not easy. It was not easy to think.The fact is that after Philadelphia's performance for several months, Beethoven has also become a critical object in China.I don't know what the "Morning Star" of the Central Orchestra was treated.Both Beethoven and the Symphony Orchestra belong to the fifth symphony of the bourgeoisie and Beethoven. During the Cultural Revolution of preaching the theory of fate, the suffering of Chinese artists and appreciation of art should not be difficult to imagine.
To be on the influence of the incident, the Shanghai Bulletin announced by the Nixon when it comes to visit China is naturally more significant than the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra.However, many times, under the topic of ideological differences, consideration of national interests, international political situations, etc., the folk cultural exchanges are sincere and more valuable.Of course, if cultural exchanges do not meet the "timing" and have no official expectations of bilateral relations, it may not necessarily happen.It happened, and after a few years, they encountered different international situations and political discussions, and may not have received high attention, let alone affect the overall situation.
Under such circumstances, it may be an anniversary celebration, a indicator that reflects the current cold of international relations, seems to be weak.But when we say that it is "folk", it is precisely because they may have a large or small role in individual people and individual groups.What kind of role appears in this role is inaccurate.In this process, some people may gain warmth and inspiration; some people may have a seed in their hearts, and their lives will change.
I saw the echo of Tang poetry on the Internet as a report and comment on the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra's 50th anniversary of the China Tour. I do n’t know if it will be a few months later.In my opinion, it is the efforts of Suzhou friends, perhaps a new round of sowing.Whether they get rewards should not be seen from the warmth of Sino -US relations, but it takes time to measure.Who knows?Several years later, maybe someone will remember the singing by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra in early 2023Tang Shi, I remember how I entered another cultural hall.
