On April 29, the concert hall of the Yanbian Workers Cultural and Art Center was brightly lit, the wind and instruments were playing, and there was thunderous applause. Sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the State Party Committee and the State Bureau of Culture, Broadcasting and Tourism, the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe created and arranged the "Building a Strong Consciousness of Chinese National Community" special concert to meet the audience, marking the full launch of the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe's 2024 Jindalai Music Season.
The concert kicked off with the melody of the symphony "Ode to the Red Flag". The notes played by the trumpet brought the audience to the exciting moment when the national flag was rising at the founding ceremony. The strings played an extended and beautiful theme, telling the audience the revolutionary spirit and touching stories of countless heroes who fought bravely and worked hard under the guidance of the red flag. The short and powerful French horn, heroic and passionate, symbolizes the flying red flag and leads the people of all ethnic groups across the country to take giant steps into the new era. The soul-stirring music deeply affected the audience, and bursts of applause erupted from the seats.
The female solo "Unforgettable Day" evoked people's beautiful memories of Guangdong Village. The violin solo "Golden Stove" brought the audience to the hot steel-making furnace. The male solo "Ode to the Yellow River" praised the strength and unyieldingness of the Chinese nation. The symphony "Dance of the Yao People" allows the audience to appreciate the charm of the music of the Yao people. The symphonies "My Motherland" and "Long Live the People" were soul-stirring, and the songs "Together", "The Red Sun Shines on the Border", "Don't Forget the Original Intention" and "Sunshine Road" were warm and touching, vividly explaining that Chinese culture is the backbone, and the cultures of various ethnic groups are branches and leaves, with deep roots. The profound connotation that only when the stems are strong can the branches and leaves flourish. The chorus "Love Me China" brought the concert to a climax.
In the coming May, there are festivals for workers and festivals for young people. The performers and staff of Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe used their hard work to use instrumental and vocal music to show the festive atmosphere of people of all ethnic groups in the state living together, learning together, building and sharing, working together and enjoying together, and celebrating the festival together. Xian Shunnv, deputy director of the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe, said that the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe's Jindalai Music Season cultural performance to benefit the people has been successfully held for 7 years and has become a brand project of cultural benefit to the people. This year’s Jindalai Music Season will increase or decrease programs according to seasonal changes to fully meet the cultural needs of people from all walks of life and of all ages, and to add literary and artistic support to Yanbian Cultural Tourism’s promotion of the “three exchanges”.
