The concert of the National Symphony was held at the Montenegrin National Theater (CNP), performed by the Chinese troupe Gansu. The concert is part of the China Culture Week, which began on Wednesday, and is organized by the Embassy of the Republic of China in Montenegro.
The Chinese artists gathered in Gansu's troupe, in front of the full CNP, and brought a rich Chinese music culture using musical notes. They performed the masterpiece "Silk Road" on traditional Chinese instruments for the Montenegrin audience, which has been accompanied by several encores.
During the whole concert, the audience followed the troupe's performance in rhythm and judging by the reactions, experienced the spirit of the specific traditional Chinese music in the right way.
Two Chinese artists who celebrated their birthday on the scene last night were greeted with thundering applause.
The leader of the Gansu troupe, Yang Jianren, said that 32 artists were presented to the Montenegrin audience last night, who were performing on major tours around the world.
"We've evoked the particularities of the Chinese culture with music and 'Silk Road'. There is no limit in music, hearts do not demand the same language and I believe that this is what the Montenegrin audience felt. Also, I believe that through art we will make a friendly bridge between our two countries," said the leader of the troupe.
China's Ambassador in Montenegro Liu Jin said that the Chinese Embassy wants to meet the Montenegrin people with the Chinese culture in anticipation of the grand holiday - Chinese New Year.
"Relationships between Montenegro and China are traditionally friendly. Culture is an important link that can further bring the two populations closer together. We want to say that relations between the states are most dependent on the relationship between citizens, and I hope that the two countries' interpersonal and cultural cooperation will be even better," said the ambassador.
