you definitely know when you
yeah I’m so happy to be here for the
TEDx NYU Shanghai it’s my first
experience here actually months later
when I got the invitation I’m quite
surprised as you can imagine
usually people call me for concerts or
music events but this may be one of the
first time that I realized simple
Nader’s matters because people not only
want to listen to the music but also
want to listen to its story
well I don’t know how many people here
have ever been to a symphony concert
would you please raise your hands
Wow congratulations that’s a lot
so actually Symphony is not that far
away it had already entered into our
daily life for example when you go to
the cinema merge it into the story
maybe you were not realized that the
music you heard in the movie was
recorded by an orchestra you attend your
friend’s wedding you heard those famous
wedding march you may not easily realize
that the music is composed by Wagner or
meander so game music ceremony music TV
like show advertisement there are so
many ex tempos so from now on if you pay
a little more attention to the song
surrounds you you may find Wow
symphonies everywhere much more than we
can realize
we all know that Symphony is not
originally from China but an interesting
thing is those famous Chinese
compositions they are all orchestral
works for them both the old to the red
flag
the famous piano puncture to Yellow
River in most of us so actually the
symphony has already
[Applause]
[Music]
but how this western-style art into the
China and became part of it in how it
did happen so the story traced back to
1860s at that time
Shanghai attracted the residences from
all around the world many European
people they traveled to Shanghai and
choose the city as their residency place
along with then they brought the
lifestyle and the cultural traditions
here at the same time European museums
brought the classic music here many of
them choose to stay in Shanghai when
they were old
so in 1879 people saw in short message
in an English newspaper it’s the North
China and Daily News they declared that
the city now had its own public band
actually this perfect pens is the very
first Orchestra of China years later the
Shanghai Municipal Council take over the
whole Orchestra and change the name to
Shanghai Municipal Orchestra
starting from them Chinese young people
in Shanghai studied music with those
Orchestra musicians which opened the
curtain for engagement of the classical
music and Chinese culture the earliest
group program bill reserved is from 1911
issue that the ocular played Beethoven
symphony number three the music from
Weber Schubert lists almost the same as
being held in Europe that time even
though the classic music was performed
here they didn’t mean it had already
entered a real Chinese life that why
because the musicians are foreigners the
audience’s were foreigners too so until
1920s the orchestra opened its regular
concert to local Chinese audience and
started to organise concerts with those
talented Chinese tourists so because of
the Orchestra Symphony had its first
root in Shanghai and later God expressed
whisper to the whole country because of
the orchestra musicians Shanghai city go
to the conditions to open the very first
Conservatory of Music in China
this orchestra is the first orchestra to
introduce the western music Western
classical music to China and at the same
time it is first orchestra to play
Chinese piece so you may ask so why why
I’m here yes where is the orchestra
right
it’s ado think yeah it’s Shanghai
Symphony Orchestra we are 100 in the 38
years old it is a very long history for
in Orchestra compared with the other
world class orchestras
Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is still
considered to be one of the oldest
orchestra in the world
haha after sharing with you the history
of the symphony in China I would like to
talking about the present situations in
the summer of 2017
there were over 350,000 the children
applied music grinding tests and the
number is growing each year you may say
that while we have a large population
for our music future yes and how about
those professional symphony orchestras
now in China the number of the
professional orchestra is over 73 now
almost a double the number in the last
decades but there’s another fact
compared with the large population of
China the concert audience number is
still very small
some people’s that own Symphony music is
no longer belongs to our times but I
disagree as I mentioned people use
symphonic music everywhere people so
many people study or learn music means
the audience needs those only good music
they even want to find those
untraditional fresh and neuter things in
those traditional arts they want
something meaningful for them that’s why
nowadays people need more interactive
participating much more than the other
times especially for a young person
fortunately Symphony again on the way to
encounter our times our composers use
different elements
and make some very different music so I
would like to show you some video first
cachito the city has lots of cats
present I am one of them so this piece
actually for me it’s so touching let’s
try the cat actually it’s the piano solo
the cat’s name is Norah
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
beautiful rights very touching
Shampoo Shia Symphony Orchestra
introduced his piece in 2013
mr. Festival mr. festival is in a
crossover class classical Plus Festival
for young people in the summer time each
year so the next piece is symphonic
chocolate the piece has four movements
each movement represents you know
different flavor the full flavor of
chocolates
so on the council day the audience will
get a very special program book it’s not
a book it’s a box of chocolate with the
full flavor chocolate inside
that means the audience can taste each
flavor while listening
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
well I think it will be a great
promotion you know for these chocolates
and the next piece is ping-pong concerto
ping-pong is a very common sports in
China so in 2015
Shanghai single keystroke commissioned
the ping-pong concerto in the premier it
in that year so let’s see that means the
suet is not a cat but it’s not musicians
well they are ping-pong players very
professional last two minutes
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
the audience are extremely happy they
keep those ping-pong boys a souvenir
that day so you can do that symphony
concert can be very unusual in creative
besides the music education can also be
very important way for audience to get
involved in the development of symphony
music classical music is very helpful in
creativity those those experienced play
together on the stage in
example or in in Orchestra is
irreplaceable in the croup people and
how to listen to each other how to
cooperate in the play they encounter
different cultures ideas learn how to
understand music from different angles
eventually it encounter presents the
complete music so all these are very
helpful and useful for people’s future
let’s listen photos about the education
project here is the mr. Festival
Orchestra
this project is for those very young
people you can see the first picture
yeah the little boy even shorter than
his instruments right and this is a
children’s auto opera the name is Noah’s
Flood the whole production was casted by
children children’s choir children’s
Orchestra children’s a reporter and even
the audience is served by the children
and this is the project a Shanghai
Symphony Orchestra cooperated with
Lincoln Center the young composers
studio those young people who never try
to compose music never learned to
compose music made the miracle in 70s
only 70 they were inspired in different
way to compose their own music and got
the chance to premiere the music in our
stage by the musicians from New York
Philharmonic in Shanghai Symphony
Orchestra
so besides you may ask how about the
traditional orchestra season concept of
course those my strolls solo it’s great
musician will always bring you the most
luxury music in the world
in our days with the development of the
science acoustic designers will present
you more in more fantastic host
this is Shanghai Symphony Hall located
in middle fishing roads
it opened in 2014 for audience the
experience get more and more delicate
person will may say ah nowadays more
Keys rebuild their own digital Hall so
people can sit at home and choose those
concerts you know even in other
countries in China we can even watch in
in typing at the same time we call it
bullet screen right a very interesting
for fun yes it really all of them but
it’s only a kind of the digital hole
just like a recording when you play it
it will be always the same but the line
concerts is different more than 80
musicians they gathering together play
on the stage you are never heard the
same interpretation even the same piece
played by the same Orchestra so it’s
just like you know the nail gun will
never replace the Hammers completely the
car will never replace the bicycle
completes me people need different
things but those were in nature will
never be out of date symphony always
bring us the top enjoyment the on-site
experience were also you know delivered
to you the organic hours out of these
disturbing huge information words
so in the end I would like to say that
in a metropolitan city like Shanghai
every day
you will find so many concerts so I
strongly recommend you to walk into a
council hall
because the classic music is something
you cannot keep for yourself you need to
experience on-site to be there at the
moment that’s the charm of it
of the triangles cross over things
activities you need to at least try once
that’s the treasure of human beings
Symphony make us to encounter different
cultures of the world in the net load
encounter China it bring us the endless
creativity and the healthy quality of
life so together with our music director
long you maestro Lulu we would like to
welcome you to Shanghai Symphony Hall
the oldest orchestra in Asia will always
be there for you to remind why Symphony
matters thank you
