A grand symphonic choral concert themed with “Soldier Transfer in Tongdao” had its show tour in Shanghai Symphony Orchestra on December 18.

Based on a major historical event of soldiers transfer in Tongdao before their marching on westward to Guizhou at the primary stage of Red Army’s Long March, the whole concert extols the courage and responsibility of elder generation of proletariat revolutionaries, including Chairman Mao Zedong and eulogizes the revolutionary spirit of Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army led by the Communist Party of China.

Consisted of 11 movements, the artistic work combines Pipa songs ('lute songs') of the Dong ethnic minority, an ecological folk music with western orchestra, creating an amazing musical effect.
