Chapter 346: Jimmy, the Violinist
The Chai Academy held a short welcome concert for four students from China in the small concert hall of the famous "Tchaikovsky Music Building ......".
The music building, named after the famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky, is a creamy white body, with a Russian architectural spire and round windows, and is surrounded by many lush greenery.
When I entered the room, it was a different taste. The main body of the small concert hall is golden yellow, and the walls and floors are made of solid wood. Six crystal chandeliers hang from the roof, reflecting the hall.
The small concert hall is rectangular in shape, and at first glance, it has the flavor of a miniature version of the "Golden Hall". Although the overall decoration looks a little old, it is very neat and tidy, and it has a strong artistic atmosphere. As soon as Liu Yufan walked in here, he was attracted by the strong music.
The small concert hall has more than 600 seats, and it is already full of students. Most of them are white-skinned and yellow-haired Russians, but there are also quite a few students from other countries, and even Liu Yufan has seen a few Asians with the same yellow skin and black hair as him, and I don't know if they are Chinese.
It is a world-famous conservatory, and its annual enrollment is also open to the world, so naturally it will not only be domestic students.
Liu Yufan and a few other fresh faces walked here, but it didn't cause much reaction from the students. After all, the Chai Academy is too big, and the students only know a limited number of people in the department, and it is impossible to recognize everyone in the whole college.
If Liu Yufan didn't say it, everyone wouldn't think that Su was a person outside the academy.
Of course, Naumovsky, who led the way in front, still revealed the identities of several people.
Thinking of the theme of tonight's small concert, many students suddenly guessed the identities of the students who followed Teacher Naumov.
"Those few people should be the Chinese students who came to the college for exchange this time."
"Every year, there will be many exchange students from other colleges in our college, and it's time again, I don't know what the level of these guys is."
"Our Chai Academy is a top international college, and China's piano education is not good, and it is estimated that the level is not much stronger."
Several Russian students whispered. They have a strong sense of belonging to the strength of Chai Yuan, and naturally they also have a sense of superiority. When they see students from other places coming here to communicate, these local students will unconsciously look at them with superior eyes.
The front row of chairs is obviously different from the back ones, and on the back of the chairs, their names are already written in several characters. Under the leadership of Naumov, Ling Yuan and several people searched according to the map, and soon found their seats.
Looking at the dozen or so students from different countries sitting next to him, Liu Yufan asked Ling Yuan in a low voice, "Teacher Ling, are these all here to communicate like us?" ”
Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Ling Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, every year in October, it is the exchange between Chai Academy and other colleges, exchange students from more than ten famous music conservatories around the world will come here to participate in a month-long exchange, and you will be like local students, you will be assigned to regular classes according to your major, and participate in normal learning and exchange activities." This is a rare opportunity where you can meet students from many of the top conservatories and discover in them the teaching philosophy of other conservatories, so make sure to take advantage of this opportunity. Seeing Liu Yufan ask this question, Ling Yuan simply talked to a few of them.
After listening to Ling Yuan's words, several people nodded secretly. This kind of exchange activity is also first-class even if it looks at the park, and the opportunity is indeed very rare. "Sit down, several, the event will begin in a moment." By the way, if there are students with performance arrangements, please prepare in advance in the order on the schedule, and the backstage is on the left-hand side. Naumov beckoned a few people to sit down, and at the same time carefully admonished them.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Naumov, trouble." Ling Yuan nodded at Naumov, then found his place and sat down, and Liu Yufan and a few others also sat down in the order of their names.
"Hi, hello, my name is Jimmy, what do you call me?" As soon as a few people sat down, a stream of fluent English rang out very abruptly.
Liu Yufan looked sideways, only to find that next to Chen Siying's seat was a tall, blonde foreign man. At this moment, he was showing a smile that he thought was very good, and greeted Chen Siying.
"Hello, Chen Siying." Facing the other party's sudden greeting, Chen Siying nodded at the other party with a smile, and then replied in fluent English. As a daughter of a family cultivated by a big family, Chen Siying's English level is much stronger than that half-baked Russian, and there is no problem at all in taking the TOEFL.
Seeing that the other party could also speak English, the smile on Jimmy's face was even worse, not long after he sat down, he smelled a good body fragrance, and when he looked sideways, Chen Siying, who was amazingly beautiful, made his pupils dilate several times. Almost subconsciously, Jimmy stepped forward to say hello.
"Chen, you are so beautiful, I am an exchange student from the Juliet Conservatory, you are from China, I have been to Beijing, China, it is a very beautiful city." Jimmy is obviously very talkative, and after a few words, he looks very familiar with Chen Siying, obviously he often says such "opening words", and he is already very proficient.
"Yes, the Juliet Conservatory is a great college." Since the other party was polite to him, Chen Siying was not easy to describe his face. It is said that although this foreigner is too enthusiastic, he is still full of Shinshi.
Seeing Chen Siying chatting with the foreigner hotly, Liu Yufan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't understand a word, which made him a little anxious, and at the same time secretly hated that he didn't learn English well before, but when it was time to use it, it was ugly. When you go back, you must make up for the lessons.
"Chen, what kind of profession are you?" Jimmy asked with a smile.
"Strings, what about you?" Chen Siying looked at Jimmy and asked back.
"Oh God, it's just such a coincidence, I'm also from the string department, you must be majoring in violin, I'm playing violin, we can talk about it when we have a chance." Jimmy hit the snake with the stick and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm majoring in erhu, but I really like the violin." Chen Siying said with a smile.
"Oh, the erhu is also a great instrument, but I suggest you learn the violin, the sound of the violin is the most beautiful in the world." At the mention of his major, Jimmy suddenly seemed elated.
A round of applause erupted, interrupting the conversation between the two men.
A tall, bearded Russian in a snow-white dress came to the stage, bowed slightly in the face of the applause from the audience, and then pressed his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"This is Dolinsky, the director of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, I didn't expect him to be the one who attended and presided over this small concert tonight, and it seems that the academy really attaches great importance to this exchange." Seeing the bearded man walking up to the stage, Ling Yuan immediately whispered to the few students sitting beside her.
"Yo, this bearded man is the dean, and he looks quite temperamental." Chen Siying said with a chuckle.
"Siying, be polite, don't call people bearded, if someone who understands Chinese understands, the impact will not be good." Ling Yuan reminded with some unpleasantness. This kid is good at everything, but sometimes this mouth is too willful, and he will say whatever comes to mind. ..., "Got it, Mr. Ling, I'll pay attention." Chen Siying stuck out her little tongue and said with a cute look.
When Chen Sa saw Chen Siying's appearance, he immediately snorted secretly, and said secretly in his heart: "It's so old and pretending to be cute, boring!" ”
Wang Yujia stared intently at the stage, as if she hadn't seen the little turmoil just now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, music-loving children from all over the world, welcome to the beautiful Tchaikovsky Conservatory, I am Dolinsky!" With a smile on his face, Dolinsky spoke the opening remarks lightly. As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into applause.
"The annual exchange has started again. I am very happy to see musical talents from all over the world come together to exchange and learn together, which is a rare gathering of music conservatories around the world, and I feel extremely honored as the dean. In the next month, I hope you can live comfortably here, learn happily, and hope that you can show your talents to the fullest, and leave more and more beautiful music here, I and more than 2,000 teachers and students of Chai Academy, we look forward to your wonderful performance! Dolinsky's passionate words immediately aroused a wave of enthusiasm in the audience.
"The Tchaikovsky Conservatory is an academy with a glorious history, thanks to the great pianist and conductor Nicolly Rubinstein for building such a good school, which has produced countless outstanding musicians and ...... for hundreds of years", Speaking of the "glorious history" of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Dolinsky was a little excited, and his tone was high-pitched for a while.
"Alright, then, give the time and the stage to our wonderful lads, tonight, I hope you can show you your best music on this stage, I will wait and see, come on, little ones!" After Dolinsky's impassioned opening remarks, he announced the start of the exchange.
"Teacher Ling, I'll go backstage to prepare, my program is relatively high." Wang Yujia saw that Dean Dolinsky had finished speaking and walked off the stage, so he turned sideways and talked to Ling Yuan in a low voice.
"Go ahead, behave well, don't be nervous." Ling Yuan encouraged.
"Yes, I see." Wang Yujia nodded, and then walked straight to the backstage along the player passage on the side.
At the same time, a Russian beauty in a bright red dress was already standing in the middle of the stage and began to announce the curtain.
"I invited Jannodnadnich from the Curtis Institute of Music in the United States to play Liszt's great etude "The Hunt." As the host announced, a young man in a black dress with shoulder-length blond hair walked onto the stage.
Seeing this young man, the expression on Liu Yufan's face suddenly became strange...... )
