Shanghai, China – March 8, 2007 – Fudan University Chinese Orchestra, today announced the plans for the future. 

Over the years, Fudan University Chinese Orchestra, having enriched itself with an impressive wealth of performing experience, has steadily progressed and developed into a mature performing body. Dynamic, youthful and visionary, the Orchestra is made up of talented musicians confident and determined to scale greater heights and embrace greater challenges in promoting traditional Chinese ethnic music, both on campus, and at the national level.

In the recent years, traditional Chinese ethnic music has swept across international borders and won over the hearts of audiences from all over the world with its charismatic beauty. In the years to come, the Orchestra wishes to share the joys of music making, and at the same time aspires to take up an active role in establishing lasting friendships with an ever-broadening audience across the globe.

Ten years of resonance - Celebrating a decade of music making

In 2007, Fudan University Chinese Orchestra celebrates ten remarkable years of music making. With a diversified programme line-up including campus talks, music competitions and concerts to commemorate this joyous occasion, the Orchestra hopes to enrich the vibrant arts scene of Fudan University with a memorable season of enchanting Chinese music and exhilarating productions.

Music knows no boundaries - The Orchestra goes global

The year 2005 marked the Orchestra's maiden international journey, when an ensemble of 4 musicians embarked on a trip to perform in Norway. In 2007, a twenty-strong ensemble captivated audiences in Hamilton and Wellington with its beguiling and impassioned performances during a memorable visit to New Zealand. The Orchestra plans to continue inspiring audiences in different countries - one of its next destinations is the South Korea - with great versatility and vigour.

Taking Centre-stage - Pursuing artistic excellence

With the Shanghai Municipality Student Arts Festival around the corner, the Orchestra has commenced on rigorous trainings, hoping to achieve artistic excellence at the competitions. The Orchestra believes this is a golden opportunity to showcase its virtuosity and musicality. Undoubtedly, the Arts Festival is going to be a rewarding learning experience for the Orchestra.

Painting our Canvas - Enriching the Fudan cultural experience

Ever dedicated to providing everybody in the Fudan community with an enriching and vibrant cultural experience, the Orchestra has not only staged concerts on occasions such as Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year, but also extensively collaborated with sister Orchestras from institutions such as the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in promoting traditional Chinese ethnic music on campus. The Orchestra eagerly looks forward to further collaborations with established music institutions such as the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to continue resonate musical vibes on campus with an exciting array of events such as concerts and talks by renowned musicians.
