The orchestra not only played classics such as Finlandia and Humoresques composed by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish symphonic composer born in the 19th Century, but also played a number of Chinese classics such as the Yellow River, working in collaboration with Chen Zhengzhe, Orchestral Director and the Dean of the School of Music, Suzhou University of Science and Technology. The diversity of the concert presented the audience with a unique combination of western-Chinese music, while also displaying the young musical talent emerging from Northern Europe.
