/PRZWT/DUNHUANG, Jan. 8, 2025 - With bells ringing to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, Dunhuang, a cultural treasure on the Silk Road, has once again offered the world an artistic feast in its unique way - the 2025 Sixth Dunhuang New Year Concert and Five-Day Study Tour. This annual cultural event not only showcases the profound heritage of Dunhuang culture, but also is a profound tribute to the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture.
As the highlight of the Dunhuang New Year's Concert, the New Year's Eve music festival was grandly staged at the Dunhuang Grand Theater. Mr. Zheng Guoliang, a famous domestic TV director, director and producer of large-scale music evenings, served as the chief director, and joined hands with Asia's most popular guitarist Shun Ng, Chinese young pipa player Wang Zi, flute player Xiao Gang, dance artist Su Ruixuan, post-00 national style musician Xu Lanxin, Japanese popular musician composer Yuuki Shiojima, famous Malaysian singer Chen Yongxin and other artists, bringing an audio-visual feast to the audience.
This concert is not only a music carnival, but also a cultural exchange, allowing participants to experience the unique charm of Dunhuang culture in the perfect fusion of ancient and modern music.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the organizer of this concert, Dunhuang Mogao Art School, extended the stage to Yadan National Geopark for the first time, and the audio-visual feast in the desert became a highlight. In the embrace of nature, the sound of wind, sand, piano and singing intertwined to form a unique symphony. This first concert held in the desert of Yadan National Geopark not only allowed the participants to feel the power of nature in the baptism of music, but also a deep experience of the natural landscape of Dunhuang.
As one of the important IP of Dunhuang New Year, the Dunhuang New Year Concert allows music and dance to come out of the ancient grottoes, and also allows people from all over the world to see the beauty of Dunhuang in winter. This concert is not only a feast of art, but also a cultural inheritance. Through such activities, the traditional culture of Dunhuang can be rejuvenated in the new era. While enjoying art, the participants also assume the responsibility of inheriting and developing Dunhuang culture.
The successful creation of the Dunhuang New Year's Concert has presented the beauty of Dunhuang as "open, inclusive, good and upright", and has become a Chinese New Year gift from all walks of life and Dunhuang to the world. Since it was first held in 2020, in the past six years, this annual public art feast dedicated to public welfare has received strong support from all walks of life, and has accumulated great potential to attract more people to participate.
As the New Year's bell gradually fades away, the 6th Dunhuang New Year's Concert leaves people not only an unforgettable memory, but also a commitment to cultural inheritance. In the days to come, let us jointly look forward to Dunhuang culture blooming more brightly on the world stage, continuing to connect the past and the future, the East and the West with its unique charm....
