The delayed 20th anniversary concert will be held at Poly Theater on Oct 20. Five young Chinese musicians born in 2000 will perform, including the violist Yu Mingyue, the violinist Lin Ruifeng, the pianist Ju Xiaofu, the countertenor Liu Shen and the cellist Ouyang Nana.

"Each of these five musicians is as old as the China Philharmonic Orchestra," Yu says. "Along with the orchestra, as they've grown up they've witnessed the growth of China's classical music scene."

Yu, who will take the baton for the concert, says: "I am very excited about it. With this new season, not only do we perform the finest music, but we also showcase our achievements over 20 years and young musicians who are the future of the country's classical music industry."

Yu Mingyue, born in Beijing into an intellectual family, will play Romanze for Viola and Orchestra, Op 85 by Max Bruch.

"I know some musicians in the orchestra, but this will be the first time I've performed with it," Yu says. "It's a great honor to be able to play with the other musicians on this special occasion."
