"Year Of The Horse"

With the 26th Chinese New Year Concert, we cordially invite you to celebrate the beginning of the Year of the Horse with a splendid musical experience. In Chinese culture, the horse symbolizes vitality, elegance, strength, and an irrepressible drive to move forward—qualities that also characterize this year's concert program.

Under the baton of Maestro Sun Peng, you can look forward to a varied journey through the soundscapes of China: from festive overtures and lyrical solo concertos to colorful orchestral works that combine tradition and modernity.

Let yourself be enchanted by the “Voice of Taihu” that the Wuxi Orchestra carries to the world and celebrate with us the festive energy of the Chinese New Year with symphonic masterpieces of classical Chinese music.

Since its premiere in 1998, the Grand Chinese New Year Concert organized by Wu Promotion has developed into a globally acclaimed concert format. Every year, first-class traditional Chinese orchestras perform in leading concert halls, offering a rich mix of China's diverse musical cultures. In these geopolitically turbulent times, this brings people from different world cultures together and opens up new horizons.

The stirring sounds of the pipa and the gentle pulse of the erhu are different and new to our ears. That is exactly what matters: let us embrace a musical experience that represents a different culture, one that challenges and fascinates us in equal measure. Enjoy the Chinese musicians' enthusiasm and their desire to bring their culture to Europe. This is what the name Wu Promotion has stood for for a quarter of a century.

We hope you enjoy discovering these new sounds!
