The Story of the Shanghai Conservatory
In 1927, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music was founded by two young Chinese musicians with a vision. They engaged Russian Jewish musicians to teach the first generation of Chinese classical musicians. Threatened by war, the school moved multiple times and nearly closed, but it has survived to become a pillar of culture in Shanghai and in China. Visit the hallowed halls of the Shanghai Conservatory and hear music by some of its legendary graduates and up-and-coming stars.
Featuring Chinese tenor Han Peng singing Chinese, Mongolian and Italian songs. The Chinese Orchestra of the Shanghai Conservatory give a performance of Folk Rhyme, showcasing the striking sound of the suona, the Chinese oboe.
