Shanghai Summer Music Festival creates a new stage along the riverbank, with 13 beautiful cellos playing on the west bank of Xuhui. Audience | Art Museum | Music Festival
On the evening of July 14th, 13 cellists from the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra performed beautiful melodies of Piazzolla, Liszt, Gershwin, and Villa Lobos in front of the Xuhui Binjiang West Bank Art Museum for the audience.
This is a fresh scene staged at this year's Shanghai Summer Music Festival.
In previous years, the Shanghai Summer Music Festival walked out of the concert hall and took the Shanghai Urban Lawn Music Square as the stage; This year, I arrived at Xuhui Binjiang, and the performance of classical music has once again expanded.
Using the underground conference room of the art museum as a backstage is also quite fresh for musicians.
Cellists carry their own instruments through the exhibition space of the art museum and wait on the first floor.
Zhu Lin, the chief cellist of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and Huang Beixing are waiting in the lobby of the art museum.
Cellists are practicing and waiting in the exhibition hall space.
At 7:30 pm, the artists lined up from the art museum and performed on stage.
The river breeze blows, the night scenery is picturesque, and the audience takes their seats early. The artist, who can only be seen sitting upright in the concert hall on weekdays, has a rare opportunity to offer a free performance to the audience in the outdoor space tonight.
Outdoor performances inevitably have to endure the challenge of lighting and temperature, and the performers still completed the performance with a consistently high level of performance.
The fully immersed performance quickly soaked the artists' shirts with sweat, and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.
Under the name of "Summer Rhapsody of Cello", the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra has kicked off its cooperation with the West Bank of Shanghai. Next year, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra will tailor a waterfront concert for the West Bank, and the waterfront music festival is also being planned and anticipated by both parties.
