Hundreds of musicians from both sides of the Taiwan Strait came together under the baton of conductor Li Xincao for a breathtaking performance titled “Echoes of the Yellow River.” Premiering on July 7, the concert commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the restoration of China’s Taiwan Province.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, the performance transformed the natural wonder into an awe-inspiring open-air stage. The concert featured powerful renditions of classics like the “Yellow River Concerto” and “Yellow River Cantata,” reinterpreted to fuse the grandeur of nature with sweeping musical expression.
The event symbolized unity and shared heritage, bridging the gap across the Taiwan Strait through the universal language of music. By bringing together musicians from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, “Echoes of the Yellow River” highlighted the deep cultural bonds and collective history that connect people on both sides.
