After the NCPA opened in 2007, the China NCPA Orchestra was launched in 2010 as its resident symphony orchestra to meet the demand of the venue's busy schedule.
"For over 10 years, the young musicians, who were in their early 20s when they joined the orchestra, have become mature musicians in their 30s and 40s. I am glad to witness their evolution," says Lyu.
Lyu notes that he is very excited about this new season because, during the past three years, schedules of performances of the orchestra's performing seasons were changed or canceled repeatedly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, 123 concerts, featuring 41 symphonic concerts, 24 chamber music performances and 58 performances of opera productions, will be staged during the orchestra's new season.
