SHANGHAI, March 17 (Xinhua) — To mark the start of the China-Russia Cross Years of Education in 2026-2027, the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra and the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement on Monday, announcing the start of a three-year in-depth collaboration between the two sides.
Taking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation, the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between China and Russia, and the 160th anniversary of the founding of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory as enormous opportunities, cooperation between the two sides aims to fully leverage their respective advantages and build a dual-core exchange platform combining art exhibitions and educational heritage.
According to the agreement, the multi-faceted cooperation, which is planned for the next three years, covers several areas: the creation of works of art, the training of highly qualified specialists, joint creativity, the exchange of resources, artistic education, and musical education for youth.
According to Gao Shanfeng, director of the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, the orchestra has always considered its mission to promote international cultural exchange and cooperation, as well as to expand the reach and influence of Chinese civilization.
Deeper cooperation with the Russian side will not only enrich the orchestra's artistic creativity and training system for qualified talent, but will also create a replicable and universal model of transnational cultural exchange, he added.
Alexander Sokolov, Rector of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, expressed his hope that music would be used as a bridge to deepen friendship and cooperation between the musical circles of Russia and China, so that classical music would become a strong link in promoting national rapprochement between the two countries. -0-
