Veteran singers, including tenor Xu Chang, soprano Liu Yanhua and mezzo- soprano Shi Lin, appeared with the Ningbo Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yu Feng, performing arias and excerpts from operas like Wagner's Die Walkure, and Verdi's Aida.

Yu, who is also president of the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, is committee chairman of the Ningbo International Vocal Competition. Eight musicians from around the world, including China, the United States, and Italy, serve as judges.
