Less than 10 minutes before the 80th anniversary celebration of the Puhai Conservatory of Music, the Grand Theater of the Puhai Grand Theatre, which has more than 1,500 seats, is crowded with people and has a festive atmosphere.

The theater space is spacious, high and deep, and the interior wall theme is gold, which forms a visual effect with the red seats on the upper, middle and lower floors. There are nearly 1,000 seats on the first floor of the auditorium, most of which are occupied today by students from Puyin School, the High School and the Primary School, as well as some alumni and staff, and a few parents. In the usual commercial performances, the ticket price for the front part of the first floor is relatively expensive, and today it is also for students to experience the feeling of ownership.

The parents of 306 almost all sit together, because the admission tickets given by the school to the girls are also connected, in a good location. The students who performed on stage each distributed two admission tickets, and all families like Wang Rui had to donate their places to Qi Qingnuo.

On the second floor there are one hundred and forty or fifty seats, and today it is mainly specialists and professors of the school, distinguished guests from the music industry and the government. Yang Jingxing relied on the name of taking care of Ding Sangpeng, and was fortunate to sit in the first row, with government guests on both sides, and Tang Qingdu went to the third row to be accompanied by He Hongchui.

The people sitting in the organ were polite and humble to each other, and they could all pay attention to the private room stands in front of the left, where the two couples of Qi Dawei and Meng Jianwei sat down, and then they sat down one after another. There are a total of six private stands, and the rest are reserved for tonight's performers and their families and friends.

If you are watching a drama or something, the second floor is a little farther away, but if you listen to music, especially symphony without sound reinforcement, if you are picky, the middle of the second floor is a harmonious and well-balanced area. But practice has proved that this place is still a little worse than the old and small Puhai Concert Hall.

There are about 400 seats in the auditorium on the third floor, which is usually the lowest ticket area because it is not a good place for sight and sound. However, for some related households, it is also a pleasure to get a free friendship and family admission ticket, come to the Puyin School Celebration to join in the fun, and see a few star masters who are not known to music fans, and the third floor as a whole does not look as formal and grand as the first and second floors.

Ding Sangpeng doesn't socialize, so he puts on reading glasses when he sits down and looks at the program list. Tonight's program is like a picture book, with the first two pages providing a brief overview of the school's glorious history, followed by an introduction to the conductor and orchestra, complete with photographs. Of course, each subsequent program and performance guests have pictures to introduce, including the group performance photos posed by 306, and the visual effects are not high-end.

The first program of the second half, "The Third Movement of the Piano Concerto in G Major", Ding Sangpeng watched it for a while. Composer Yang Jingxing, conductor Lian Lixin, Yu Xinting, Puyin Youth Symphony Orchestra.

First of all, Yu Xinting's brief introduction is nothing more than studying in the Puyin Piano Department, under the tutelage of Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing, and has rich performance experience...... A small photo with it seems to be hanging all over the world on the school website, but it is not clear.

As for composition, the program has a little more introduction to Yang Jingxing than Mozart and Haydn and the like, such as the list of "other excellent works", but not as detailed as the composers of today's opening and finale two world premieres.

Yang Jingxing reminded Ding Sangpeng in a low voice: "Don't get up, I'll deal with it." "Because they saw someone coming again, it was impossible for the dean and his wife at the Manhattan School of Music to be there to communicate with the officials.

The dean had already expressed his respect to Ding Sangpeng before, and it seemed that he was bringing a like-minded wife to say hello, even if Ding Sangpeng sat still, the two of them also showed great humility and honor, although they were a little hurried because of the urgency of time.

After blessing Ding Sangpeng, the dean's wife got up to look at Yang Jingxing, and seemed to become more anxious and even a little incoherent: "I don't know what to say, I'm sorry, from yesterday to today, it's so special......"

Husband helps wife save time: "Great recordings, great sonatas, great Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and you ......"

The woman dressed up a little exaggerated seemed to have regained her train of thought and grabbed the words: "I salute you with high respect, I must do this!"

Yang Jingxing was still not used to this set, and he couldn't say any words: "Thank you......"

The foreign guests began to summarize and describe the surprise of last night and the complete shock when they went to the school to listen to the recording this afternoon, saying that at that time, more than a dozen men, women and children were almost afraid to comment: "...... I'm like a beggar who eats a palace feast, but I'm still hungry!"

Yang Jingxing was a little apprehensive: "Thank you...... When the time comes, please return, and please take a seat. ”

The foreign guests were a little sorry for whether their current behavior was out of place or that they were not liked by the pianist, and turned around as they spoke.

Seeing that the two foreign guests walked over there and returned to their seats, Lu Kaiping, who was about to come to supervise the diplomatic work, may not be embarrassed to give up halfway, but still walked to Yang Jingxing's side, told him to take care of Ding Lao, and reported to Ding Sangpeng about the "grand occasion" of the piano department in the afternoon, in short: "...... No shame on you. ”

Ding Sangpeng was not surprised, but He Fangxin, who was sitting next to him, was a little enthusiastic: "Xiao Yang looks like a talent." ”

The vice chairman of the Puhai CPPCC, who leaned on Yang Jingxing's side, also nodded kindly and praised: "Dignified appearance, young and promising." ”

Yang Jingxing's expression was completely unworthy, and he was hehe.

When Ding Sangpeng sent Lu Kaiping away, the vice chairman of the CPPCC also cared about the elders, and asked Ding Sangpeng if he was comfortable to sit on, and if the elderly needed a cushion behind their backs.

He Fangxin and Ding Sangpeng praised each other for their toughness, and the CPPCC here chatted with Yang Jingxing, very modest: "Listen to music, I still have to ask you for advice." ”

Of course Yang Jingxing didn't dare.

The other party cared about what grade Yang Jingxing had in college, what major he studied, and while praising him, he seemed more and more close to the people: "Didn't your parents come today?"

Yang Jingxing explained: "I am from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they have a job, and they can't leave. ”

The official knows very well, saying that the whole province of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is full of good mountains, good water and good people, but as soon as he heard the name Jiuchun, he couldn't tell why, he could only guess that one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, it must also be a good place, and this distance is not far: "...... It is also very reassuring to have relatives and friends to take care of it. ”

Yang Jingxing nodded gratefully: "Well, there are teachers and elders who care." ”

The official touched: "A person can get a few mentors and helpful friends in this life, what more can a husband ask for." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "When you say this, I feel even more lucky." ”

The official hehe, what is the darling of the times, the sun in the morning, and now the government's attention to the cause of music and culture, said and observed sideways and found: "Wait for the meeting or Deputy Secretary Zhang's speech?"

Yang Jingxing said truthfully: "I don't know." ”

The official also cared: "You and Minister Cao have known each other for a long time? ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Well, during the Puhai Spring Music Festival in June, Minister Cao guided the work. ”

As the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, of course, I also know some people in the literary and artistic circles, such as the famous professor and professor of the Puyin Vocal Music Department who are members of the CPPCC and have made excellent proposals......

It was half past seven, and it was very punctual, the lights changed, the curtain was raised, and the orchestra was all seated. In the applause, two famous hosts, a man and a woman from Puhai TV, came on the stage and began to sing a double reed, and everyone in the audience consciously stopped chatting.

"Distinguished leaders, teachers, students, and guests...... The fragrance of rice flowers says a good year, and listen to the music for a year...... Inherit the fine tradition of Heyi Zhuang Cheng, gather the strength of all directions to create a brilliant ......"

Although the emotional words on the stage seemed to be clichés, the theater was quiet and everyone listened attentively, especially the students on the first floor.

Maybe there are too many people who come from the big one, and under the foreshadowing of the lines with such obvious charm, there is no link to welcome the leaders and guests one by one, but the host calls for applause and warmly welcomes and thanks the leaders for their concern, and then invites the deputy secretary of the Puhai Municipal Party Committee to speak on stage.

The deputy secretary took the stage and delivered an unscripted speech, with a voice like a bell: "Distinguished guests, we are gathered here today to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of Puhai Conservatory of Music...... I was appointed by the Puhai Municipal Government and Secretary Meng of the Municipal Party Committee...... I would like to express my heartfelt welcome and gratitude to all the leaders, guests, teachers and students who attended this celebration...... In the great process of building a harmonious society...... It has cultivated a large number of outstanding musical talents......"

After speaking for five or six minutes, I have tried to be as concise as possible, and finally the deputy secretary passionately wished Puyin to make greater contributions to the music industry of the country and Puhai, and the personal speech ended, and the applause rang out warmly.

The two hosts came to the stage while thanking the leader, and then began to enter the theme, the mental state, technical quality and ideological consciousness of the two are beyond the reach of the hosts of those small concerts in He Luting's music, not to mention that there are often no hosts in the school.

After creating a festive atmosphere again, the host began to introduce today's opening song, "Puhai Overture", specially composed by the famous composer for the anniversary of his alma mater...... And today, I was there from the middle of the audience on the second floor, waving and greeting, and the people around me turned around to pay attention and applaud.

Then he welcomed today's famous conductor to the stage, and the host also sang the praises of Lian Lixin's friendship in taking charge of the Puyin Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Lian Lixin's tuxedo appeared on the stage, and the applause of the warm welcome was led by the first floor, and the Puyin people on the second floor were also very face-saving, indicating that Lian Lixin was still quite popular.

After greeting the audience, Lian Lixin went to shake hands with the two principal members of the orchestra and say hello, and then stood on the podium and the preparation began.

"Puhai Overture", the orchestra has been rehearsing more or less intermittently for more than half a year, and Lian Lixin has carried out some refinement after taking over the baton, although a small number of orchestra members have different views on the musical form, but they have a professional sense when rehearsing.

At the beginning of the music, the simulation of the trumpet to the suona unveiled the world premiere music, and then the horn, flute, clarinet...... It's all this route.

In the words of the orchestra members, it couldn't be more Chinese, in fact, it would be better to transplant it to the Chinese orchestra, and the original music was also based on traditional Chinese music.

Form is one thing, and the composer's technique is very good, so foreigners seem to be fresh and appreciative, and most of them are very interested in expressions.

The show is not long, seven or eight minutes, the end is quite chic, with Lian Lixin's enthusiastic movements abruptly stopped, and then slowly relaxed his hands and hung down, and the applause in the audience rang out, not losing to the leader's speech.

The applause was more continuous, and the composer received a lot of tribute, and he got up again to salute him, looking quite satisfied.

He Fangxin also heard some tunes, but Ding Sangpeng did not discuss them, and Yang Jingxing did not support or oppose the officials' comments.

Lian Lixin bowed and stepped off the stage, and the hostess came up alone to introduce the next program, "The Great River Rises from the East", welcoming the famous singer. After the singer came up, he first thanked his alma mater and teacher, and then introduced his piano accompaniment, he is still a performer, although Yang Jingxing does not know him, but he also welcomes everyone together.

The official was a little pleased, because when he saw that the lyrics were written on the program list, Su Shi recited two sentences very charmingly, and was confirmed by Yang Jingxing.

The official was full of expectations, but when the singer opened his voice, he found that the rhythm of his recitation and singing were completely different things, but he had an appreciation for vocal music, and sighed that the singer was really a good voice, and this baritone was really wonderful.

At the end of the song, the applause was very warm, but it was sung very well.

Then, the male host came up and sincerely welcomed the next program, the famous young soprano singer sang "I Love You China", which is indispensable at this time, with the orchestra accompaniment!

Lian Lixin accompanied the singer on the stage, and the singer you knew next to Yang Jingxing was a little excited to introduce to the juniors, at what party she had heard her sing, and also knew her preparation unit.

The young female singers welcomed the leaders and sincerely thanked their alma mater and their teachers, and the famous old professors of the vocal music department smiled and chanted, and they had to be thanked several times tonight.

In the era of innovation, young singers have improved the conservative singing style of the past, and incorporated a lot of personal styles into this song that almost everyone can master, which is much more delicate and gentle, and has a little pop color, but has not lowered the requirements in singing skills.

The one next to Yang Jingxing really appreciated it, his face moved when he heard it, his lips moved with it, and his neck stretched out in a high voice.

The singing is indeed very good, and after singing, the singer seems to fall into the feelings of the song, and emotionally wishes the motherland and his alma mater...... The applause was very enthusiastic.

The vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is like a middle-aged fan, clapping his hands vigorously while exchanging his feelings with Yang Jingxing: "Whenever I hear this song, I feel too much ......"

Yang Jingxing nodded vigorously.

Then the famous singer presented "Ode to the Yellow River", people in their fifties and sixties will have an aging voice, but the old man sang passionately, and the applause he received was still warm.

Next, the famous performers and the orchestra will present the concerto of "Fengqiao Night Park" for everyone, but when the host was still introducing, Yang Jingxing asked for leave from the people around him, and got up and bent down very rudely and slipped towards the door.
