Hakka music comes alive at NCPA

The Concert Hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) turned into a Hakka party when the Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra played Echo from Tulou under the baton of 80-year-old woman conductor Zheng Xiaoying (pictured), on Sunday night.

Singer Li Tiesheng, also 80, who once sang in front of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and Liu Shaoqi at the Great Hall of the People in 1956, also performed at the concert, singing Hakka folk songs.
