On November 22nd, the 11th Shenzhen Lianhuashan Music Festival opened its first day of performances at the Kite Plaza in Lianhuashan Park. Continuing the theme of "enjoying classical music on the grassland," the festival delivered a powerful audio-visual experience on its main stage, bringing classical music and traditional Chinese arts closer to everyday life. The opening day drew more than 10,000 people to the venue and attracted about 2.5 million online viewers through livestreaming on 10 platforms.

At 2:30 P.M., the Shenzhen Youth Symphony Orchestra took the stage as the opening act, bringing vibrant youthful energy to kick off the festival. Since its establishment in 1999, the orchestra has expanded from 20 ensembles to more than 100, training tens of thousands of young local musicians. It has won over 10 gold awards in conducting and more than 60 ensemble awards at international, national and provincial music competitions.

At 7:30 P.M., as night fell, the China National Traditional Orchestra took over the stage, presenting a grand feast of traditional Chinese music. As a leading national ensemble, the China National Traditional Orchestra boasts the world's largest and most comprehensive traditional Chinese orchestra and the country's only professional ethnic chorus. The orchestra has toured more than 30 countries across five continents and performed at major diplomatic events, including APEC meetings, the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, and the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022.

To fulfill the goal of cultural benefit for the public, this year's festival further advanced the integrated approach of publicity, culture, tourism and commerce. Working with key commercial districts such as UpperHills, Link CentralWalk, Shenzhen Eye, Shenzhen Central Book City, Lianhua Subdistrict and Yuanling Subdistrict, the festival launched a "stamp collection for discounts" activity. Participants can enjoy discounts at more than 100 merchants in categories including food, fashion, hotels, and travel.
