In its fifth year, the 2018 Lianhua Hill Glades Music Festival, scheduled Nov. 16-18, will feature five shows presented by five orchestras: the Berlin Philharmonic, Philadelphia Festival Orchestra, Shanghai Organ & String Orchestra, African Drum Orchestra and Australian Organ & String Orchestra.
“It’s not easy to buy a ticket to the much-anticipated Berlin Philharmonic’s Shenzhen concert, so we are collaborating with Shenzhen Concert Hall to air it at our festival simultaneously in Lianhua Hill Park,” said Jian Dingxiong, deputy director of the publicity department the Futian District Committee of the CPC and chief of Futian District cultural and sports bureau.
Organized by the Futian District Government and local theater management, performance and ticketing company A.C. Orange, the open-air festival is Shenzhen’s late-autumn musical sensation, demonstrating that classical music can have a transformative impact on the city.
“I feel lucky because I have claimed free tickets several times. Even if I fail to grab one, I am still able to listen to the shows at the hill while flying kites,” said Liu Hongjun, an audience member.
The festival not only encourages locals to relax to classical music but also advocates environmental protection and social good. Audience members are called upon to collect garbage in the park and the festival organizers will donate books to children with autism.
