The "Sound of Friendship" brings together classical masterpieces of Austrian music with Chinese works that build a bridge between tradition and the present, and representative musicians and music teachers from China meet representatives of the Austrian musical tradition. Together they create a dialogue in the spirit of cultural diversity and mutual respect.
The Chinese side will present works by the composer Long Zhou, who has reworked eight widespread Chinese folk songs into a new musical sound. There will also be the world premiere of a new work by Professor Ye Shen, which combines Eastern philosophy with modern musical language and builds a bridge between tradition and the present.
