From December 14th, the closing event of the 8th "Singing Beijing" in 2021, the leaders of the Beijing Folk Orchestra and Folk Choir Gathered in the Capital Citizens' Series of Cultural Activities, were performed at the Shijingshan Cultural Center for two consecutive days, ending the annual activities. The exhibition was also recorded and will soon be uploaded to the Internet for more literary and art lovers to appreciate.
The series of cultural activities for the citizens of the capital are sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and hosted by the Municipal Cultural Center and the Beijing Music Association. The annual event welcomed more than 600 amateur music teams and about 10,000 music lovers to participate. After the preliminary evaluation and re-evaluation of 13 tracks such as singer competition, instrumental music competition, and choral competition, more than 80 teams entered the final evaluation. In the end, only 10 teams successfully participated in the exhibition, each of which hid the dragon and crouched tiger.
The Augmented Philharmonic Orchestra from Chaoyang District includes doctors, lawyers, baristas, jewelry appraisers, physicists, astronomers, mechanics, programmers, and several professional performers. They are all young people who love music and work together to protect their musical dreams. The Dayu Middle School Choir from Mentougou District is composed of junior high and high school students who love choral singing. Among the many middle school choirs in Beijing, the Dayu Middle School Choir is one of the few with an a cappella choir, which shows its high level. There is also the Jin Civilian Orchestra from Pingfang Township, Chaoyang District, whose predecessor was the Huafang Yicheng Community from Shandong villagers entertaining themselves, with nearly 20 members at the beginning. In the past year or so, the orchestra has changed its name to "Jinping", attracting many folk masters of folk music performances to join, with more than 50 members, and the level of the orchestra has also changed. Nowadays, they can often perform in other communities and units, benefiting more music lovers.
In this year's "Singing Beijing" activity, the music groups composed of these amateurs also enjoyed the benefits of watching Huimin performances, listening to special concerts, listening to public welfare lecture halls, and subtly improved their musical level in one exchange after another.
