Concert Celebrating One Hundred Years of Art Songs for The Commemoration of the Centenary of China's 1911 Revolution

The concept comes from a piece of writing by the famous Chinese poet, Yu Kuang Chung, of the same title "Memories As Long As the Railway Tracks". Poetry, lyrics and art songs will be used as materials for expressing emotions, and recount the sentiments for one hundred years of railway with singing and recitation.

Chinese art songs of the past century carry in them the memories of Chinese people and the aspirations for their quests, the dreams of the lyricists and the composers, the dreams of the people - the people's songs, folk songs. Here, you'd find the melody and sentiments of the Chinese people expressed through western music and vocal techniques. These songs are epic poems composed by artists for the New China of the 1911 Revolution.
