The internationally renowned China National Symphony Orchestra visited Australia once again this year to perform an enchanting concert marking the 45th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between China and Australia. Conducted by CNSO’s own music maestro Li Xincao, a 100-piece orchestra featuring the first Asian prizewinner of the Paganini Competition, violinist Lü Siqing, showcased a once-off performance at Sydney Opera House on Monday 23 Oct, 2017. 

Founded in 1956, The China National Symphony Orchestra is recognised as one of China’s most outstanding orchestras. The CNSO has played an enormous role in promoting and developing the art of symphonic music throughout all of China, including introducing Chinese audiences to a large repertoire of classical, romantic, modern, and contemporary orchestral works by both Western and Asian composers. The CNSO has also performed alongside many international artists such as Herbert von Karajan, Seiji Ozawa, Charles Dutoit, Krystof Penderecki, David Oistrakh, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Giuseppe Giacomini, Lang Lang, Li Yundi, Wang Yuja and Han-Na Chang.

Over the past decades, the CNSO has undertaken international tours to the USA, Germany, Austria, Spain, Mexico, Japan, and the United Kingdom.  The orchestra was even praised by The London Times as being a sophisticated musical group with vigorous sounds and excellent technique, and was mentioned in The Washington Post  as a solid, energetic and meticulously drilled ensemble.

For the Orchestra’s tour in Australia 2017, the CNSO showcased a selection of classical masterpieces including The Fantasies Symphoniques (composed by Guan Xia), The Butterfly Lovers (composed by He Zhanhao & Chen Gang), and the Symphonic Suite Scheherazade.  

This was a unique opportunity for Sydney audiences to experience an exquisite musical showcase brought to life through the supreme skill and artistry demonstrated by the China National Symphony Orchestra.
