From March 28 to April 5, the 125-year-old Vienna Symphony Orchestra(维也纳交响乐团) brought Viennese music to Beijing.

One sunny morning, a brass trio—trumpet, horn, and trombone players—performed at Yongdingmen Wall. They played Summertime, improvised melodies, and a new piece written especially for them. The trombone player said the audience loved the music, creating a warm atmosphere.
The orchestra gave shows at Beijing's main concert halls, starting a cultural event. Their new conductor mixed traditional Viennese sounds with romantic styles, making music that connected the East and West.
Musicians explored local culture by visiting the Temple of Heaven(天坛) and Drum Tower(鼓楼), playing music at these historic places. The orchestra leader said they were proud to hold 5 Beijing concerts, aiming to share European classical music traditions.
During the shows, they played famous works like Die Walkure(《女武神》) and Symphony No.4(《第四交响曲》). To celebrate Strauss' 200th birthday, they performed his lively waltzes and polkas. A special moment was the horn solo in Horn Concerto No.1. They also played a Mozart symphony that was meaningful to the conductor.
The conductor and top musicians visited a music school. They taught classes and rehearsed Pictures at an Exhibition(《图画展览会》) with students. This hands-on exchange helped mix different musical cultures, leaving a strong impression.
