Special concert to pay rich tributes to Red Army

As this year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Long March, a special concert will be staged to pay homage to the Red Army.

With headliners, including Chinese tenor Yan Weiwen, soprano Song Zuying and baritone Liao Changyong, the concert, produced by the National Center for the Performing Arts, will see a joint performance by the NCPA Orchestra and the NCPA Chorus under the baton of leading Chinese conductor Li Xincao, who is the resident conductor of the China National Symphony Orchestra.

In the early 1930s, the Kuomintang, the then-ruling party of China, launched a series of attacks against the Communist Party's Red Army in central and eastern China.
