In a faraway place: a concert of West China folk songs

A group of Chinese singers will gather on Jan 26 at the Beijing Theater, singing the most popular folk songs, which were collected and re-arranged, or composed by composer Wang Luobin (1913-96) when travelling among ethnic groups in West China in the 1930s-40s.

Under the baton of veteran singer and conductor Feng Qiusheng, the Chorus of the Chinese Musicians Association will sing along with Cheng Zhi, Wang Jing, Xiong Qingcai, Cui Rui and Liang Junge at the Chinese New Year concert.
