Under the initiative of Yu Long, conductor and music director of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, the implementation of the "Blue Bird Project" has been excavated and launched a group of young musical talents with artistic ideals, solid musical skills and steady execution ability for more than a year. Last night, Bluebird planned a 21/22 season series "Memories of Time · ENDLESS" was staged. In the "TRI Third Space" across the street from the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall, 17-year-old pianist Zeng Zixin and 22-year-old cellist Cheng Jiayi shared the stage to perform winter romance with the theme of time and love.
From baroque, romantic, 20th-century classical music to contemporary film scores, the two girls set the theme of the concert as "music and love do not fade away because of the differences in time and space." The performance is a mix of cello, piano and vocal music. The whole performance, from music and music to song selection, performance preparation, artist confirmation, etc., is led by the "blue birds" and implemented one by one.
Zeng Zixin, who plays the piano, began to learn piano at the age of four, under the tutelage of Professor Dan Zhaoyi, a famous Chinese piano educator. In March 2018, 14-year-old Zeng Zixin held a "New Sunshine" solo piano solo concert at the Poly Theater in Beijing, conducted by Long Yu. Zeng Zixin got some guidance from Yu Long, "The younger generation should have more innovative courage and ideas, should have their own organizational ability and leadership spirit, and should not stick to only classical music players."
Speaking of the "Blue Bird Project", Zeng Zixin believes that it provides a new and fashionable platform for young classical musicians, and also makes the matter of listening to classical music change from "grand" to "everyday". "As performers, we can use our own musical creativity on stage, incorporating rich musical elements such as pop, rap, jazz and so on; as listeners, there are many young people on the stage, and everyone can immerse themselves in it and feel the beauty of music."
On September 25 this year, Blue Bird Project 2.0 opened a new season led by young musicians in "TRI Third Space", showing their sincere hearts and spirit of exploration in music. These students wrote the manifesto of Generation Z, eager to build their own musical kingdom on the stage of the "Blue Bird Project": "We have experienced everything in the traditional concert format and have long been well versed in our hearts... But tradition is changing, and tradition must also be a development. We want to lead the way in the next era. ”
