In a remarkable cultural exchange that showcases China's rich musical heritage, the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Wuxi Chinese Orchestra are embarking on a European tour from Feb 10 to 27.

Performing in 10 iconic cities across six countries, including Montpellier in France, Geneva in Switzerland, the Belgian capital Brussels, and Hamburg in Germany, this tour is not only a celebration of Chinese music but also an important milestone in international cultural diplomacy. The two orchestras will present the unique sounds of China to a global audience, blending tradition with modernity in a compelling fusion of styles.

The two ensembles share a common mission: to bridge cultural gaps and share the emotional depth of Chinese music with the world. Both orchestras have meticulously designed their repertoires to offer European audiences an authentic yet innovative experience.
