The China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra is performing a unique performance for Sydney audiences, the Chinese Folk Orchestra Concert at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall for one performance only on Thursday, 2 December 2010.
Founded in 1953, China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra is a national level orchestra with a long history of brilliant achievements and influence. Though they have toured to over seventy countries, this December marks the Orchestra’s first tour to Australia and the concert features eighty-nine orchestra pieces, including more than thirty Chinese instruments.

For the Orchestra’s Sydney premiere, China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra will perform favourites by well known composers Peng Xiuwen, Tan Dun and Guo wenjing among others.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Sydney audiences to witness the intriguing instruments and sounds of China not normally heard in Western music culture. The spectacular calibre of the China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra’s talent is complemented by the spectacular setting of the Sydney Opera House,” said the presenter Dr Robert Feng.
