On December 23, 2023, To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage , To promote international exchange of excellent traditional Chinese culture, the Beijing International Peace Culture Foundation, Beijing Peace Garden Museum, and China National Opera House jointly organized the "Chinese Ancient Poetry Concert" as the 366th New Year's edition of the "Peace Garden Classical Music Salon". The concert selected famous poems such as the Book of Songs and The Poetry of Tang and Song dynasties, accompanied by tunes made by outstanding Chinese composers. It was performed by many artists led by Ruan Yuqun, the head of the China National Opera House, showcasing a brilliant and charming artistic effect. Mr. Luan Feng, a famous Italian bass singer who attended the event, along with many artists and music enthusiasts from all walks of life, expressed that although we have once enjoyed classic plays such as "Carmen" and "Turandot" at the Grand Theatre, we rarely had the opportunity to see such a grand feast of ancient poetry tonight. The Peace Garden Music Salon gave us surprises. This is a practice of interactive inheritance for ancient poetry and music audiences, and also a brilliant and shining moment for music to embrace the Tang and Song dynasties. And we look forward to another brilliant performance at the Peace Garden Classical Music Salon.
