2017-03-14
On March 10, 2017, Hailun Music Tour: Zhao Xiaosheng Piano Solo Concert was successfully held in Shangrao, Jiangxi. The famous Chinese composer, pianist, music theorist and educator, professor of Shanghai Conservatory of Music and doctoral tutor Zhao Xiaosheng was warmly welcomed by Shangrao music teachers, piano children and parents. At the same time, the piano performance and the master classe hosted by the Shangrao Musicians Association and undertaken by Shangrao Hailun Art Education Institute have also received favorable comments from the audience.
It is known that the concert site was arranged at the request of Professor Zhao Xiaosheng: on the stage, there are more than 20 invited audiences sitting around the piano in the Hailun CF286 grand piano. The lighting on the scene is very dark. The atmosphere of the venue was quiet and elegant. Professor Zhao said: "This time I want to imitate the model of the art salon held by musicians in the 18th century, and draw closer to the distance between the performers and the audience."
During the whole performance, the audience applauded only when the performer entered the scene and the whole performance ended. The concert was played in the order of the program. There was neither a report nor a break in the middle. This kind of piano recital is not very popular in China. Moreover, half of the audience of the concert was still children!
But what is amazing is that the order of the concert is surprisingly good. From Handel's "Chao Kong" dance music to the works of composers such as Coupland, Ramo, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, the playing of Professor Zhao made the audience so intoxicated. The atmosphere was extremely elegant and quiet. The audience could only heard the sound of the Hailun CF286 grand piano. As the last piece of music ended, the audience gave a long-awaited applause to Professor Zhao.
Later, the audience went on stage to take photos with Professor Zhao Xiaosheng, and the crowded scene was almost out of control. There were some piano children playing the grand piano, enjoying the sound of Hailun's piano. It seems that these children would definitely become small fans of Hailun's piano!
Afterwards, the author learned that although the Shangrao area is a third-tier city, the economy and culture are developing rapidly, and a large number of children are learning piano. Hailun’s focus on the promotion activities in this third-tier city was very wise.
The master class held the following day was also wonderful. Professor Zhao is widely knowledgeable. His introduction of various music knowledge had opened the eyes of the audience. One of the students played Saint-Sang's "Swan". Professor Zhao began to imitate the show, set off his toes, danced with his arms, and imitated the beauty of the swan for the children, which made the audience happy.
The performance level of several students is not low. a nine-year-old boy, Ye Ziyu won the first prize in the piano competition in Jiangxi Province. Professor Zhao said in a row: "Shangrao's children should not be underestimated!"
A young mother, holding a three-month-old baby in her arms, stood up and listened to the lecture. The mother is Li Dan, who is the piano teacher of a music store. Her baby is the youngest audience in the class. The young mother reflected the eagerness of the masses to learn music and felt the importance of piano art.
Finally, Liu Xuefeng, general manager of Shangrao Hailun Art Education center, who organized the event, said that their art center will soon operate after the preparations. He is also very optimistic about the future development trend of the art center!
