The China National Traditional Orchestra, established in 1960, continues to showcase China's musical heritage, but with a modern touch.
In its latest collaborative production with the Chengdu Traditional Orchestra from Sichuan province, titled Looking for Du Fu, the China National Traditional Orchestra pushes boundaries by inviting Chinese director Yi Liming to create an imaginative Chinese musical experience based in ancient times.
The show will premiere in Beijing on Saturday and will be staged in Chengdu a month later.
