Lincoln Center is the world's largest art venue; As the center of New York's classical music scene, it is a stage for all artists, and it is also the cultural center of New York, which brings together theaters, opera houses, concert halls, and outdoor concert halls.

It is home to several world-renowned art institutions: the Metropolitan Opera is home to the Metropolitan Opera and American Ballet; Ellis-Doeley Hall is the center of the Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center and the New York Film Festival; The New York State Theatre is home to the City Ballet of New York and the City Opera of New York; The Aveley-Fisher Hall is home to the New York Philharmonic, Lincoln Center Principal Performers, Mozart Concerts, and Lincoln Center Jazz; Julia College is a world-renowned school of theatre music that has produced many stars.

Carnegie Hall, not to mention, is simply the oldest major concert hall in New York; The New York Philharmonic performed here until it moved into the Eveley-Fisher Hall, and on the day of its premiere in 1891, the Russian composer Tchaikovsky performed his own works; Toscanini, Stokovsky, Bruno?? Famous conductors such as Walter and Bernstein spent their golden years here.

The soloists, solo performers and group performances that have performed here are all the most influential figures in the music scene over the past century. Up to now, there is only one Chinese artist who can be invited to perform here, Mr. Mei Lanfang, even if the time is postponed to the time when Shen Long crossed over, there is only one more female singer from Yimeng Mountain.

It can even be said that this is the center of classical music in the world, when Guo Yan followed Shen Long to visit here two days ago, but with a pilgrimage mentality, Shen Long now wants to perform here, isn't that just a class with an axe?

"yes, it's a good place." Shen Long took it for granted, "Even if you look all over New York, the United States, or even the world, there is no one who understands classical music better than the tourists here, in this case, can you still be there if you don't perform here?" "The status of the world's classical music center is both a pressure and an opportunity.

"Well, don't you see someone performing next to here? Since they all dared to come, why didn't I dare? Shen Long pointed to the street artists next to him, some of them were holding violins, some were playing clarinets, and some even brought in pianos, all of them were concentrating on their performances, and there were more or less audiences around them.

Judging from their expressions, there was no doubt that they could understand it, which surprised Guo Yan again, after all, in China, classical music is only the exclusive domain of a few people.

This is the gap between the different levels of social development, the Chinese have not completely filled their stomachs now, so have time and energy to train their own artistic accomplishment? The United States has been the most developed country in the world for many years, and the long time and super high economic level have allowed many Americans to cultivate their musical literacy from an early age.

It's just that most of the street artists here are white, sometimes some black, and Guo Yan didn't find a single yellow person from this end to that end, let alone Chinese.

Listening to their performance again, it is Beethoven's violin concerto, the third movement, the timbre is pure, very beautiful, and the technique is good, at least Guo Yan is sighing to herself, have all American street performers reached this level? Originally, I thought that after coming to the United States, I would find a symphony orchestra to do my old job, but now it seems that I am not qualified to say that my identity as a Chinese will be looked at differently here, and in terms of performance skills alone.

Guo Yan was flustered here, but Shen Long had already started to get busy, he went to play with a street artist who was taking a break from playing, and then went to the café next to him, and after a while, he moved out a chair; This surprised Guo Yan again, "You know a few English words, how do you do that?" ”

Yes, Guo Yan and Wang Qiming didn't have time to make too many preparations before they went abroad, they didn't even know much English, they didn't understand the language, they didn't have extra money, and they didn't know what they could do here; Under such circumstances, he gave up his life at home without hesitation and came to this strange country just with a beautiful vision of the United States.

You can say that they are reckless, but isn't this kind of recklessness that China lacks today? In the past, there were people who went to the east of the country, went to the west, and went to the South Seas, but now there is a fever for going abroad, and the desire of Chinese people for a better life cannot be stopped.

I pointed to my cello, and then to his chair, and he pointed me to the café next door, and I went over and borrowed it, and when they saw my cello, they gave it to me! I wondered, there are more people performing here, and the business of the café can be much better, so people are happy to borrow it! Shen Long said.

"Actually, Americans are not so scary, it doesn't matter if we don't speak English, we have the courage to find a way, and we can always communicate." Shen Long took the opportunity to give Guo Yan a lesson, and in a few years, a large number of fallen masters who couldn't speak Russian would flock to the north, earning a lot of money with the same simple way of communication.

"I'm going to start working, you can't stand here all the time, I asked you for a cup of coffee, you just sit there and watch me make money for you!" Shen Long pointed to the location under the sun umbrella outside the café, that position was not close or far from here, and the line of sight was not blocked, Guo Yan sat there and could just see himself.

"Don't go, I've given all the money, the Americans won't give us a refund, you don't want it to be a waste!" Shen Long saw Guo Yan standing there without moving, and urged again.

So Guo Yan had no choice but to go over, the waiter brought her a cup of coffee, she said thank you like Shen Long did two days ago, and then looked at Shen Long with a smile; He seems to have started to adjust to life in the United States, maybe he can really make our lives better, right?

It's just that Guo Yan still hasn't completely put her mind at ease, seeing those skilled street artists, she has a lot less mustard for street performances, but she doesn't have much confidence in his performance skills, this is the Lincoln Art Center, and the appreciation level of tourists must be very high, right? Can he make money at his level?

Shen Long slowly adjusted the position of the chair, opened the case and took out the cello, placed the case in front of him like other street artists, and then began to tune.

Hmph, of course, this is an axe, but the axe is still a little different from the axe!
