This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Europe. Recently, a team of teachers and students from China Conservatory of Music went to Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and other countries to hold multiple concerts that integrate East and West, as well as rich academic exchanges and cultural activities. These activities not only showcase the unique charm and contemporary style of Chinese music, but also enhance mutual understanding and deepen friendship between China and European countries. Showcasing the colorful style of Chinese music, the Urad folk song "Hongyan" from Inner Mongolia outlines the vast artistic conception of the Chinese grasslands, while "Qingyu Case · Yuanxi" and "Guanju" sing the elegant charm of Chinese classical poetry, and "Me and My Motherland" convey profound patriotism... At the Marienport Theater in Duisburg, Germany, a special concert organized by professors from the Vocal Opera Department of the China Conservatory of Music was spectacular, and the audience warmly applauded the Chinese artists who came from afar. The performances of Chinese artists not only bring us auditory enjoyment, but also a cultural dialogue. ”Andr é Jeschka, the manager of the Marienport Theater in Duisburg, said. At the Chinese Cultural Center in Berlin, Germany, the "Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and Europe Concert" attracted about 200 spectators, including representatives from the Chinese Embassy in Germany, the Berlin City Government, the German art and academic circles. After the performance of "Chinese folk songs have diverse styles and are very charming" and "I didn't expect ancient Chinese poetry to be sung", many viewers took the initiative to talk to the artist and express their love for Chinese music. At the reception held by the Chinese Embassy in Slovakia to celebrate the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the traditional Chinese music ensemble "I Love You, China" played, the audience present was deeply moved. This is a special concert organized by the "Butterfly Dream Flying Bamboo" Yangqin Art Troupe of China Conservatory of Music upon invitation. On that day, the Yangqin Art Troupe also performed classic songs such as "General's Order," "One Branch of Flower," "Horse Racing," and "Yingshan Hong" with Chinese young erhu performer Marco. Concert after concert not only showcases the colorful style and profound heritage of Chinese music, but also brings Chinese and European audiences closer together. Slovak Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Environment Tomas Taraba stated that music has enhanced understanding and brought the two peoples closer to each other, and has also allowed the Slovak people to fully experience the charm of Chinese music. Attempting to integrate Chinese and Western music to express this European trip, Chinese singers not only sang Chinese songs, but also combined the characteristics of Chinese vocal singing to perform new excerpts from Western classic operas such as "A Clear Day", "Love is Like a Free Bird", "Drinking Song", etc., attempting to integrate Chinese and Western music for expression. Chinese artists have a deep understanding of Western works and incorporate Eastern aesthetics, making this a creative performance, "commented a German musician. This is a dialogue between Chinese and foreign music, as well as a cross-cultural exchange. The Chinese yangqin, along with the Hungarian and Slovak simbalons, belong to the world yangqin family, but each has its own characteristics in form, tone, and performance techniques. On this trip, the "Butterfly Dream Flying Bamboo" Yangqin Art Troupe exchanged ideas with European Simbalon performers around the theme of "musical instruments of the same origin and cultural exchange". At the "Silk Road Piano Language - Appreciation of Chinese Yangqin Music" salon held at the Budapest Chinese Cultural Center in Hungary, Li Lingling, Vice President of the World Yangqin Association and Professor of Chinese Music at the China Conservatory of Music, systematically reviewed the introduction and localization process of Chinese Yangqin from three perspectives: historical evolution, contemporary development, and artistic characteristics. Subsequently, she performed works such as "Tanci 36", "Joyful Torch Festival", and "Hungarian Chaldach Dance" with the visiting team. The combination of lectures enables Hungarian audiences not only to hear but also to 'understand' the artistic language of the Chinese yangqin. At the concert held at the Bratislava Academy of Performing Arts in Slovakia, Chinese yangqin artists not only performed traditional Chinese pieces such as "Guangdong Music Joint Play" and "Dragon Boat", but also played Slovak folk songs on the Chinese yangqin. Although the development paths of Chinese yangqin, Hungarian Simbalon, and Slovak Simbalon are different, their musical vocabulary is similar. We can explore more possibilities for ensemble, ensemble, and even co creation while respecting our respective traditions. ”Li Lingling's viewpoint has also been recognized by artists from Hungary and Slovakia. In Berlin, Germany, teachers from the Vocal Opera Department of the China Conservatory of Music gathered with their German colleagues to explore the future development of music education and showcase cross-cultural cover techniques through live performances. In addition to performances, the visiting team of the China Conservatory of Music also held multiple thematic discussions and academic lectures in Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia on topics such as "cross-cultural music education," "international music talent cultivation," and "contemporary inheritance and innovation of ethnic musical instruments. At the Liszt Academy of Music in Hungary, the Chinese Yangqin Art Troupe gained a systematic understanding of the teaching system, curriculum, and practical platform of Szymbol ó n in Hungary, and proposed to promote regular cooperation between the two academies through mutual learning and exchange. This proposal not only benefits the enrichment of music education practices in both countries, but also provides new possibilities for the development of the world's yangqin families. ”Gabriel Farkas, Dean of the Liszt Academy of Music, said. After receiving the "Butterfly Dream" mini yangqin gifted by a Chinese artist, Gabor Farkas quickly picked it up and concluded the communication between the two sides with an improvised melody. This exchange trip to Europe, using music as a medium, showcases the profound foundation of cultural exchange between China and Europe. ”Wu Bixia, the head of the Vocal Opera Department at the China Conservatory of Music, said.
