Principal players from the Beijing International Philharmonic Orchestra turn classical piano, electronic rhythms and screen melodies into a single crossover concert.
The ensemble introduction describes musicians with backgrounds at the Central Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music and Berklee College of Music, and a style that adds pop and electronic sounds to a classical foundation.
The source introduces Croatian Rhapsody through Maksim Mrvica's performance and its blend of classical piano with a modern electronic beat. It connects the driving rhythms with the Croatian civil war and a spirit of resistance and hope, giving the piece a narrative beyond its keyboard energy.
The selection also moves through screen and contemporary instrumental music. My Heart Will Go On represents Titanic, while Star Sky, Breath and Life and River Flows in You broaden the programme's lyrical and rhythm-driven contrasts.
