“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.

“The talented China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra is led by celebrated conductor, Pang Kapang, who took over artistic direction of the Orchestra in 1998. Under his leadership the Chinese Folk Orchestra Concert promises to be an impressive evening of colourful entertainment,” continued Dr Feng.
