A recent orchestral performance by Chinese and Russian musicians blended together classic folk songs from the two countries, highlighting the harmonious fusion of cultures and the beautiful friendship between the two peoples.
The Chinese-Russian Symphony Orchestra of the Harbin Conservatory of Music, a prestigious art institution located in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, performed the orchestral work "Blossoms," as part of an international cultural exchange TV program called "Harmony in Diversity", co-produced by China Media Group (CMG) and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Inspired by two famous flower-themed folk songs, the "Jasmine Flower" of China and the "Oh, the Kalina Flowers Are in Bloom" of Russia, the show perfectly fused the two classic melodies, conveying the common desire for a better life and extolling the friendship between the people of the two countries.
The performance "Blossoms," along with a dozen other carefully choreographed music shows, was aired on CMG's CCTV-1 channel on March 8.
