The nearly two-hour performance was dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and China.

Spectators called for three encores.

Ivan Totev, Mayor of Plovdiv, told Xinhua that Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra demonstrated impressive professionalism and contributed to the convergence of the two cities, which this year signed a twinning agreement.
