The Instrument Group of CYUPS Art Troupe Participated in Beijing College Students Music Festival Exhibition Performing Session and Won Three Silver Awards
Recently, the 2016 Beijing College Students Music Festival (instrumental music) organized by Education Work Committee of CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and Beijing Municipal Education Commission was held in Beijing. The Instrument Group of CYUPS Art Troupe participated and won three silver awards in the exhibition performing session.
CYUPS Instrument Group is composed of two teams—the Traditional Instruments Orchestra who mainly use Chinese zither, Erhu, Chinese lute, flute and dulcimer and the Western Instruments Orchestra who mainly use stringed instruments, piano and western concert flute.
In the category for groups of colleges and universities with no students specializing in arts，the Traditional Instruments Orchestra played Plum-blossom in Three Movements and Song of the Four Seasons; in the category of chamber folk music ensemble, the Traditional Instruments Orchestra played the Chinese zither ensemble of Glowing Red Morningstar Lilies; in the category of chamber western music competition, the Western Instruments Orchestra played Spring of the Four Seasons, and Red Star Concerto. Eventually, they won silver awards in all these three categories.
Compared with other groups of the Art Troupe, the Instrument Group is the youngest so it faces the challenges of lack of team members and the incompleteness for the cast of the orchestra. In order to prepare for the exhibition performing session, the group members practiced hard for two long months under the guidance of professional teachers.
