BISHKEK, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — A thematic concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was held at the T. Satylganov Kyrgyz National Philharmonic on Thursday.
The concert program included more than 10 numbers. Among them were such popular Chinese songs and melodies as “Ode to the Red Banner”, “My Homeland”, “Partisan Song”, as well as world-famous Soviet songs “Cranes”, “Katyusha” and “Victory Day”.
The Kyrgyz State Academic Symphony Orchestra named after A. Djumakhmatov was responsible for the musical performance and accompaniment of the concert. The orchestra's conductor Rakhat Osmonaliev told Xinhua that it was a great honor for him to perform at this solemn event. According to him, the concert is of great importance in conveying the friendship between Kyrgyzstan and China. "I think that this joint listening to such beautiful music will inspire the Chinese and Kyrgyz audiences."
Along with wartime songs, the artists also performed musical compositions from modern Chinese TV series such as “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” and “The Unsheathing Sword.” The concert, which lasted about an hour and a half, ended with the Chinese patriotic song “I Love You, China.” The artists’ excellent performance won thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
"The concert was wonderful. In my opinion, the composition from the TV series "The Unsheathing Sword" is a masterpiece and left an indelible impression on me," shared Nurgul Rymbekova from the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Innovation of Kyrgyzstan, who was invited to the concert. She noted that the event was a "great discovery" of Chinese culture for her. "If there are more concerts of this kind in Kyrgyzstan, related specifically to Chinese culture and art, I will definitely come," added N. Rymbekova.
The event, which attracted more than 1,000 people, was reportedly jointly organized by the Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan, the Kyrgyzstan-China Friendship Society and the Chinese Cultural Center in Bishkek. –0–
