About 1,000 people from all over the world are expected to attend the conference in 2013, which will have such themes as minority music, ritual, religion and the performing arts, and screening music and dance.
The conference will also present performances of traditional music, by both folk musicians and participant ethnomusicologists from around the world.
"It will be a chance for both Chinese people to understand the world's music and for the world to know more about Chinese music," Xiao says.
