Song Yuanming, teacher of the Central Conservatory of Music and soprano singer
Although it is the first time to participate in the "Open the Door of Art" activity, Song Yuanming, a soprano singer who is a teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music, is no stranger to getting along with children. In an interview with reporters, she said, "Being able to do something for the children is my most unshirkable responsibility as a teacher. 3 to 14 years old is the most important period for children's artistic influence, every artist is from this age, this period of artistic edification for children is very important, art should start from the doll. This year marks the 110th anniversary of the death of the Austrian composer Mahler, whose first four symphonies are often seen as 'Magic Horns' symphony series, many of which are based on early songs written by Mahler based on the text of The Young Magic Horns. Symphony No. 4 is built around only the song 'Life in Paradise'. Song Yuanming said, "Although Mahler's works are not as easy to understand as Beethoven and Mozart's works for children, the soprano solo in the last movement of the Fourth Symphony expresses the meaning of the voices of children in heaven, which resonates with children, and is particularly excited to explore Mahler's musical and spiritual world with young listeners." ”

Actor Zong Ping
Zong Ping, a national first-class actor, said, "In terms of the selection of titles for this year's summer art festival, it is more from the perspective of children, choosing some popular, relaxed and pleasant works for them, rather than didactic and indoctrinated works. Children are the future of the motherland and the hope of the country, and today's aesthetic education has penetrated in all aspects. The development and dissemination of this art of recitation is the responsibility of our literary and artistic workers and actors, and we are very happy and willing to do these things.
