Event Background
On the evening of August 2, 2019, the La Stecca hall in downtown Milan was packed, as artist Cao Xiaomeng gave a flawless performance of guqin musical works in three parts: "Heaven, Earth, and Humanity." At the concert, the expression of contemporary visual art brought the guqin closer to the audience, and the mutual interpretation of hearing and sight aroused the audience's great interest in and enthusiasm for the Chinese guqin.
Key Information
At the suggestion of Mr. Zhang Changxiao, head of the Italy-China Cultural Exchange and Development Center, the concert added an interactive segment with the audience. Questions, exchanges, and requests to try playing the guqin met with an extremely enthusiastic response. Ms. Cao Xiaomeng's fluent, precise, and highly charismatic answers in English to everyone's questions left a deep impression. When the concert ended, the audience was still wanting more and came forward one after another to take photos and talk, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Bringing the art of the Chinese guqin, with a history of more than 3,000 years, into the present was artist Cao Xiaomeng's original intention. After the concert, Italian musicians and artists proposed to Cao Xiaomeng N possibilities for joint creation between guqin music and contemporary art, opening a new horizon for Chinese traditional culture to approach contemporary artistic expression. Regardless of ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, the future of artists and the guqin still holds much to be seen.
