Thunderous applause reverberated through the packed Jinji Lake Concert Hall in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, on July 15 as 83-year-old Chen Xieyang conducted a performance by gifted musicians with a broad range of repertoire and stylistic diversity.

It was not just a harmonious evening to mark the 95th anniversary of the inception of the People's Liberation Army, but also one to announce the much-awaited return of the Suzhou Symphony Orchestra's regular live shows, which were suspended since February in the wake of the resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic.

Suzhou has a rich history of old art forms. Pingtan, a singing and storytelling routine that dates back 400 years, and Kunqu Opera, which is more than 600 years old, are among them. The orchestra is keen on widening its repertoire by combining western classics and folk music genres.
