Beijing

Musical symphony

To usher in the summer, the Beijing Concert Hall will stage concerts for young audiences. To kick off the program, Fan Tao, chief conductor of the Film Symphony Orchestra of the Broadcasting Performing Arts Troupe, will lead the orchestra in Peter and the Wolf. The musical symphony, composed by Russian master musician Prokofiev, is a children's story, spoken by a narrator accompanied by the orchestra. Each character is represented by a particular instrument and a musical theme, and the musical opens up a fairy tale world of music.
