—Remembering History, Passing Down Classics, Witnessing a Grand Symphony
At 8:00 p.m. on Friday, October 11, 2024, the 85th Anniversary of the Premiere of the Yellow River Cantata and the 75th Anniversary of the Canadian Premiere Commemorative Concert will be held at the Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre at York University. This extraordinary musical event will be jointly presented by the Canadian NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir, the Tsinghua University Toronto Alumni Choir, and the Greater Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra (GTPO), bringing the audience an emotionally stirring artistic experience.
The concert has received support from Xian Nina, daughter of the composer of the Yellow River Cantata, Xian Xinghai, who has sent a video greeting. The concert will be conducted by Leo Li, Chair of the Membership Committee of Choral Canada and Artistic Director of the NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir. The performance will bring together Eastern and Western musical forces to present the grand symphony of the Yellow River Cantata. This concert is not only a tribute to a classic of Chinese traditional works but also a grand presentation of the integration of Eastern and Western artistic cultures.
Since its establishment in 2023, the NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir has rapidly grown into a prominent non-profit choral art group in the Toronto area. With rigorous training and rich performance experience, it is committed to promoting the fusion and exchange of Eastern and Western musical cultures. By collaborating with the Tsinghua University Toronto Alumni Choir and the Greater Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra, this concert aims to commemorate history and pass down classic works through music.
We cordially invite you to witness this historic artistic event and resonate with countless music lovers in Yellow River Cantata, remembering history and passing down its spirit.
