In an empty live broadcast with no audience, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra played the first note of the 2022 Shanghai Summer Music Festival.
In order to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and control, this year's summer music festival is fully online. At the opening concert on July 20, the auditorium was empty, but the musicians' professional performances were not compromised. Young conductor Zhang Lu was ordered to replace Yu Long, who was unable to come to Shanghai due to the epidemic.
This is the first time that Yu Long, the promoter of the Summer Music Festival, has been absent from the scene in the 13 years since the Summer Music Festival was founded. He said, "After experiencing many uncertain factors in the epidemic, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra team and I will finally hand in an answer sheet to everyone. I hope everyone can enjoy a special summer music festival in this special environment this year. Let the music accompany us. I hope that the audience can still embrace the yearning for music, the love for life, and the desire for beauty no matter where they are or what they are in."
On more than 20 platforms including the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's video account, official Weibo, and The Paper, you can participate in the summer music festival carnival online.
On the night of the opening performance, Zhang Lu joined hands with Zhu Huiling, a mezzo-soprano from Europe, to present Wagner's vocal suite "Wessendonk Song", Grieg's "Solveig Song", and Mahler's "First Symphony".
This is also the first big band performance of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra since the epidemic this year. Yu Long was unable to come to Shanghai because of the pop-up window for the health treasure in Beijing. Three days before the performance, Zhang Lu received the exact news of the replacement.
"Because musicians are banned from time to time, and musicians can't come back from abroad, the orchestra has always been in a state of 'missing arms and legs'." Zhang Lu said with a smile that the difficulty of accepting orders in danger lies in its suddenness, "You I don’t know what will happen next. The time to prepare for the performance is greatly reduced, which challenges your usual musical accumulation, your familiarity with the composer, and your psychological quality is also very important.”
In order to prevent being locked up at home, Zhang Lu took the initiative to stay in a hotel these two days. In order to ensure the neatness of the performance lineup, the handover has prepared a "spare tire" for each musician, and there are two candidates for each position. The handover also borrowed people from the Brothers Orchestra. On the night of the opening performance, three musicians from the China Philharmonic Orchestra and the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra came to the rescue.
Without the audience at the scene, Zhang Lu was still not used to it. "Especially when the music ends at the climax, when you turn your head, it's empty, and there is still a little gap. The audience's applause is the best encouragement for the musicians and conductors."
The post-80s conductor Zhang Lu took over the opening baton, while Yu Long was replaced by the post-90s conductor Sun Yifan. At the same time, the post-00 conductor Jin Yukuang will also join forces with the Neoclassical Chamber Orchestra to bring a special performance.
"Throughout the entire music festival, the important conductors are the post-80s, post-90s and post-00s. These young conductors herald the continuous development of our music industry, linking the past and the future." Yu Long said happily.
At the closing concert, Sun Yifan will hand in the baton, and the world premiere of composer Zhao Lin's symphonic poem "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" will use music as the pen to present the charm of the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Northern Song Dynasty. I am not worried about handing over the premiere of such a heavyweight work to a post-90s generation and handing in the words of the head of the group, Zhou Ping.
"We are very confident in him. He also has this ability. If young people have the ability, they must boldly give opportunities. Many music masters were ordered to stand out because they were in danger when they were young." Zhou Ping said that the theme of this year's summer music festival is " Beginning”, they also hope that Music Energy will become an important career start for the young generation of musicians in China, and gradually establish a multi-age talent pool that connects the past and the future. “As long as young people can accept the recruitment, we will give them platforms and opportunities. "
"'Persistence is the only way to be great'. Persistence is the best promise made by a music brand to the audience and to the society." In 2010, the Summer Music Festival started under the initiative of Yu Long. For 13 consecutive years, every hot summer will be Arrived on schedule and never stopped.
This year, after experiencing the impact of many uncertain factors and constantly changing N plans, the summer music festival has finally settled. However, until a few days before the opening, the music festival was still changing its plan, and finally changed from offline performances with audiences to online live broadcasts without audiences.
"It's changing every day, with twists and turns, constantly 'folding up and down'." Zhou Ping sighed, because this year's variables are too large, the submission cannot prepare A and B plans as in the previous two years, only in huge amplitudes. , set the "upper limit" and "lower limit" of the plan, "No matter how difficult it is, we don't want to interrupt it. Being able to open is the beginning of a better life, and being able to return to the scene is the biggest victory."
What can be confirmed at present is that the opening and closing performances, as well as the opera essence of Zhang Jiemin and Soprano He Hui, the neoclassical performance of Jinyu Mine and the Neoclassical Chamber Orchestra, and the "Little Prince" performance led by "Sister Swallow" Chen Yanhua, will Live broadcast in Shanghai Symphony Hall.
In addition, China Philharmonic Orchestra, Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, Harbin Symphony Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and many other orchestras all over the country will bring their best performances in the cloud. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra will also participate in the online show.
The base camp is rooted in the summer music festival in Shanghai, which is the first time to extend the music lines to cities other than Shanghai, radiating to Beijing, Guangzhou, Harbin, Hong Kong, and even London, New York, and cloud linkage in many places.
"Although there is no audience, the mezzo-soprano singer Zhu Huiling, the soprano singer He Hui, and the violinist Li Weigang have a belief from beginning to end: they must come to the summer music festival." Zhou Ping introduced that Hehui was the first time to meet with the handover. For the cooperation of the big band, he rushed back to Shanghai from abroad for isolation and preparation; Li Weigang was originally scheduled to come to Shanghai to hold a recital, but because of the epidemic, he was unable to make the trip, and now he has found another way to broadcast live in Beijing.
Although the plan has been changing, this year's summer music festival has always maintained three lines as the bottom line - the education line in the afternoon, the performance line in the evening, and the radio line in the late night. Among them, the education line focuses on youth art education and will launch 11 performances and activities; the radio line will lead the audience to relive the famous troupes, famous artists and famous scenes of the previous summer music festivals, a total of 10 programs.
Music festivals are not just to watch, but also to listen to. From July 20th to 30th, the Summer Music Festival will be held at 15:00, 19:30 and 22:30 every day, strung together a beautiful day accompanied by good music. Whether it's sleeping at home or running at night outdoors, you can join the summer music festival in the most comfortable way.
