He is a protégé of the world-famous conductor Karajan, and has conducted many of the world's top symphony orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic.
"You don't need professional analysis to feel music, you will feel happy when you listen to it and feel the beauty of it. Recently, the series of activities of "Art Enjoying Zhangjiang - Masters into Zhangjiang" ushered in this world-class conductor, Master Tang Muhai was invited to Zhangjiang Drama Valley to share his perception of art with the audience, in his heart, music is an endless existence.
Science has given wings to art and scientists to have a greater sense of belonging
In bursts of warm applause, Master Tang Muhai stepped onto the stage. Tang Muhai on the conductor's platform is full of passion, a baton integrates the thoughts and emotions of a group of musicians, and the brilliance of music is radiated to the extreme, and as a sharer, Master Tang Muhai hopes that through his own sharing, more people can enjoy music and fall in love with music.
By chance, Tang Muhai met the world-famous conductor Karajan and participated in one of his competitions, but he didn't expect that it was this competition that changed his fate. "Karajan is a very practical artist, just like many scientists and researchers on site, he is very rigorous and pragmatic, and he can deal with different situations at the same time. It is precisely because of the unreserved guidance and help of Maestro Karajan that Tang Muhai has become a professional conductor based on the European stage, and he will also share his music and performance experience with the audience without reservation.
Tang Muhai said, "I have always challenged myself to come into contact with different types of music and understand different cultural connotations. It's fun to feel the difference. Just like coming to Zhangjiang Science City today and enjoying the beauty of music with scientists, it is to plug in the wings of art for science. ”
Studying abroad 40 years ago, conductor Tang Muhai felt rare when he heard about Western symphony orchestras. Over the years, China's symphonic music has made great progress. Tang Muhai believes that there were still great differences in cultural exchanges in the past, but now the resonance at home and abroad has become more and more profound. After becoming famous, Tang Muhai began to return to China frequently, bringing Chinese orchestras to the world stage and making the world realize the charm of Chinese music.
"The harmony feels so good, it's a wonderful feeling, and I still cry when I hear the music. Tang Muhai's love for music is deep in his bones, "but you don't have to understand music to feel music, just listen to it directly, liking is a natural reaction." ”
Master Tang Muhai's sharing made Shen Huaqiong, the founder and CEO of New Oceanshen Pharma, who came to "Art Enjoy Zhangjiang and Masters Enter Zhangjiang" for the first time, deeply empathize, "My family and I love music very much, and music and science do not conflict at all, which makes us more focused. ”
Shen Huaqiong was named one of the 2021 "Top 20 Women in Biopharmaceutical R&D" by Endpoints New, a well-known global media in the industry, and was selected into the 2021 Forbes "Women In Tech China Women In Tech List" list. Recently, she won the 2022 Female Leadership Award of Baihua Association.
After working in Science City for more than ten years, in 2022, Shen Huaqiong decided to start a business in Zhangjiang and established a biotechnology company focusing on the development of innovative drugs for the central nervous system, and the first drug is about to enter clinical trials. "We are working on both small molecule and gene therapy drugs, operating in both China and the United States, and in less than a year, the small molecule platform has produced our own patented and preclinical drug candidates, and we will be able to apply for IND next year. ”
For scientific researchers, the daily research and development tasks are heavy, Shen Huaqiong said that art can bring them relief, "There are many scientists in Zhangjiang who are versatile, and the holding of cultural activities such as 'Art in Zhangjiang, Masters in Zhangjiang' will bring scientists more sense of belonging." I also deeply understand that Zhangjiang is my home, a place for us to be happy and innovative, not only to make more like-minded friends, but also to show our talents. ”
From off-stage to on-stage, from audience to performer
"Art is a shock that hits the soul and is a spiritual guide. In Tang Muhai's view, the real value of music is not in entertainment, but in faith, personality, and emotion, which is something that cannot be expressed and internalized in spirit. At the scene, Tang Muhai served as a tour guide, and together with three other artists, performed a number of classical music classics for the audience. The artists on stage were devoted, and the audience was fascinated by the listen.
On the same day, a number of Zhangjiang talents who love art also appeared in Zhangjiang Drama Valley, showing off the style of Zhangjiang people, and got the opportunity to further communicate and learn Xi with Tang Muhai.
