News Content: At the recent U.S.-Chinese Youth Ethnic Chamber Music Festival in Beijing, Jacob Kaplan from the United States impressed the audience with his distinctive voice and expert skill on the suona, earning him thunderous applause. This concert, featuring contributions from music students of both countries, showcased the fusion of Eastern and Western music cultures and highlighted the power of music as a universal language. It brought together young people from diverse backgrounds to meet, exchange ideas, and experience the charm of culture through the bridge of music.
The U.S.-Chinese Youth Ethnic Chamber Music Festival, held in Beijing, marked a splendid interaction between the music talents of both countries. During the concert, the Tennessee State University Chinese Orchestra and the Song Qingling Peace Angel Art Troupe’s Chinese Folk Orchestra collaborated to perform several classic Chinese folk music pieces. From the lively “Spring Horse Riding,” to the energetic “Golden Snake Dances,” from the rustic “Meeting on the Grasslands,” to the melodious “Yimeng Mountain Song,” these melodies flowed from the fingers of Chinese students, immersing the audience in the vastness of China’s land, experiencing the vastness of the steppes, the freedom of horseback riding, and the depth of Chinese folk music.
At the concert, William Spryber, in charge of percussion, demonstrated his fluid switching between seven Chinese and Western percussion instruments, from the light cloud gong to the rhythmic small cymbal, to the agile marimba. Not only did he showcase his talent as a percussionist, but he also expressed his respect and love for different music cultures. He said that over the past two years of studying Chinese folk music, he has come to appreciate the historical and cultural value of traditional instruments, as well as the importance of communicating and connecting with people from different cultural backgrounds through music.
Christina von Schäffer, who played the erhu at the concert, wore a qipao themed with the Chinese landscape painting “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains,” showcasing the beauty of Chinese culture. She also attempted the traditional Chinese instrument, the sheng, and expressed that it would require significant practice to ensure smooth melodies. This reflected her dedication and persistence in music learning.
Beyond the music, the young people from both countries also experienced China’s rich culinary culture, such as Christina’s taste of “Dried Sea Slug” in Fujian, Sean Supjian’s appreciation for Beijing roast duck, and their positive impressions of young Chinese people. This not only was a feast of music but also a collision of hearts and cultural integration, allowing young people from both countries to explore and experience each other’s cultures together, fostering friendship and understanding.
This concert was not just an artistic exchange but also a testament to the deep friendship between young people from the U.S. and China. Through music, they transcended linguistic and cultural barriers, creating an unforgettable musical journey that showcased the power of music as a universal language and the significance of cultural exchange in fostering mutual understanding.
