At 12:00 noon on October 26, the upper and lower floors of the South Hall of cadillac Shanghai Concert Hall were filled with citizens who came to enjoy the music. Accompanied by the beautiful Acapella singing, the Shanghai Concert Hall public welfare brand "Music Afternoon Tea" ushered in the 1900th issue. On stage, the "AHA Vocal Ensemble" sings and imitates various instruments and sounds with multiple voices and harmonies, and brings the latest original work series "Ancient Poetry Acapella"; offstage, the audience either gently stomps their feet or rings their fingers with their left and right hands. After the song was finished, the applause on the scene was thunderous.
As a public welfare brand project of Shanghai Concert Hall, "Music Afternoon Tea" is a salon-style small concert, which began on January 7, 2012, and has been facing the general public with the "low threshold, high quality" positioning of "low threshold and high quality" for many years. On the day of the 1900 issue, the "online version of music afternoon tea" (audio version) was also broadcast live online for the first time, spreading the wonderful live performance to more audiences.
The first Acapella Orchestra to walk into the "Musical Afternoon Tea" returned with a warm heart
Acapella is a musical form of a cappella vocal chorus that originated from medieval church music. Ancient poetry originated from ancient Chinese culture and has a long history of thousands of years. The combination of ancient poetry and Acapella uses the most simple and clean vocal chorus to explore the beauty of the text of classical Chinese poetry - this is also the original intention of the series of "AHA Vocal Orchestra".
The AHA Vocal Ensemble has an indissoluble relationship with "Musical Afternoon Tea". As a young unaccompanied vocal choir born in Shanghai, AHA became the first Acapella orchestra to enter the "Musical Afternoon Tea" at the beginning of the "Musical Afternoon Tea" in 2012.
Compared with the fledgling vocal orchestra nine years ago, AHA, like "Musical Afternoon Tea", has undergone many growths and changes over the years, from a student team that can only imitate well-known Western orchestras and cover classic songs, to a choral group with a series of original works and a more social responsibility. The "Ancient Poetry Acapella" presented in this concert is the latest original series of works by the AHA Vocal Ensemble.
The first song of the concert, "Kan Kumai", is the first song in the AHA Vocal Ensemble's "Acapella" series, written using the traditional a cappella writing style. This arrangement carries people's long-standing basic aesthetic of melody, which is both inheritance and tribute.
"Liangzhou Words" retains the poignant and tragic temperament of the composer Wu Songjin's original work, which sounds mournful and poignant. "Shepherd Boy" was specially written by the leader Of the Group, Xu Li, so that children who do not yet have the professional ability to play music can enjoy the fun of Singing in Acapella. During the performance, the orchestra invited the audience to get up and interact together, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.
The "Online Version of Music Afternoon Tea" (audio version) was officially launched
Affectionately known as the "Music Living Room" by the general audience, "Music Afternoon Tea" is the only public welfare concert brand in the country that is regularly open to the public during the day on weekdays. Nearly 6,400 young artists have staged this stage, and about 12,000 songs have been staged.
In addition to the regular special projects, the performance of "Music Afternoon Tea" will be celebrated every hundred and anniversaries, as well as summer theme weeks, winter vacation lecture series and other forms. "Music Afternoon Tea" not only provides a multi-dimensional platform for outstanding artists and art groups to grow and display, but also forms a development model of two-way mutual training between audiences and artists. Here, young artists have a platform to show their musical achievements, and create a humanistic social circle for citizens to meet friends with music.
On the day of the 1900th issue, the Shanghai Concert Hall specially launched a new "online version of music afternoon tea" (audio version), selected weekly wonderful live performance clips to share on the platform to share with everyone, and at the same time irregularly launched the afternoon tea audio live broadcast, so that the audience who did not come to the scene can also have the accompaniment of afternoon tea. Here, you can not only meet the classic works of musicians such as Beethoven and Strauss, but also meet the living soul hidden in the melody of Chinese music.
