At noon on April 16th, the "Charm of Wind Music" Shanghai Opera House Wind Band Concert was staged in the small theater of Yunjian Hall, where five young wind musicians performed Chinese songs, Western opera symphonies, classic film music and other repertoire in the form of woodwind quintet.
On the same day, a song "The Marriage of Figaro" kicked off the concert, and the subsequent repertoire included "Nobody Sleeps Tonight", "My Heart Lasts Eternal", "Frozen" and "The Moon Represents My Heart". In between performances, the performers also popularized the timbre and playing methods of various instruments. At the end of each piece, the performers bow and thank you, and the audience responds with warm applause.
"I was a primary school teacher before I retired, and I was very happy to have the opportunity to enjoy this elegant concert for free today. In addition to Fengrun, the 78-year-old audience said that she also came to see the performance with her wife Yang Shouhua. "I used to listen to Yue Opera and Shanghai Opera, and I didn't listen to much elegant music like this, but today many of the repertoire is familiar and very friendly. Yang Shouhua said. As he spoke, he also took out his mobile phone and skillfully demonstrated the reservation process, "There are many public welfare activities in Yunjian Hall, we often participate, and I will watch a public welfare movie tomorrow, and I have made an appointment."
Huang Xueyang, director of the cultural resources department of the Yunjian Hall Culture and Art Center, said that last summer, the small theater introduced a string quartet from the Shanghai Opera House, and the audience responded very well, so this year the woodwind quintet from the Shanghai Opera House was introduced again. "We hope to bring more high-quality and diversified performances to the audience in Songjiang. In the future, we would like to promote this kind of performance to various street theaters. Huang Xueyang said.
