On the evening of December 30th, 2021, the NEFU New Year's Concert was broadcast live on Tik Tok and bilibili via the "Youth League Committee of NEFU" account. With nearly 5000 people in the audience, the National Orchestra, the Western Orchestra and the College Students' Choir of NEFU Art Troupe jointly performed 13 classics.
The Western Orchestra started the concert with Shostakovich's "Waltz No.2" which warmed up the audiences with its magnificent, vigorous and lilting rhymes.Then, the rising melodies in the second movement of"Mozart Symphony No. 14","The Phantom of the Opera", and "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" created a pleasant and soothing atmosphere and the auspicious"Spring Festival Overture" vividly revealed the coming of the festival. Later, three classics, namely,"Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Legend of The Dragon"and "Kalinka" performed by the choir, pushed the whole concert to a climax with passionate and gentle melodies.
"Battle Steeds Galloping Ahead" played by the National Orchestra vividly showed the fearlessness of border guards guarding the motherland. And "Jasmine" presented a long tune and aftertaste. Moreover, "Danceofthe Golden Snake ", "Spring", and "Harvest Gongs and Drums" depicted the lively scenes of our people celebrating the harvest, rendering out the very coming of the new year.
The concert at which the teachers and students interacted frequently and shared their happiness was a great success. "Actually, I didn't expect we would see the New Year's Concert this year. So, when I saw the announcement, I was extremely excited. Although it was held online, the wonderful performance by the College Students' Art Troupe ushered us into a happy New Year and relieved our pressure of the final exams." Yan Shuwen, an NEFU sophomore law major of the School of Humanities and Law, said after the concert.
