Meanwhile, Scholar built instrumentation into Wang's set with two synthesizers and several traditional Chinese instruments, including guzheng, ruan and hulusi. Together, the two created a set of atmospheric and ambient music decorated with brisk electronic notes.
First coming to China in 2015, Scholar was quickly fascinated by traditional Chinese instruments. Now, he is able to play a dozen traditional Chinese instruments and has been introducing them to overseas folk musicians as well.
"These instruments have thousands of years of cultural context, and we are the ones carrying such culture into the future," Scholar said.
During the next two months, a lot more music offerings are being prepared for global visitors. Wang Peng, chief communications officer at Grand Yuyuan, said that Yuyuan and the center will continue to present Chinese intangible cultural heritage and global cultures, respectively, with different performances to hit the two stages each week.
"Music has no boundaries. The festival will gather most of the nation's traditional operas at Yuyuan, and the BFC will feature cultures from different countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy and Mexico. Visitors will be able to tour China at Yuyuan and meet the world at the center," Wang Peng said.
