An audiovisual symphony concert for the documentary The Yarkand River was held in a theater owned by Shanghai Media Group on Nov 29.
The 70-minute concert was performed by 80 musicians from the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, presenting a total of 10 pieces alongside iconic scenes from the documentary, which were showcased on a 13-meter-tall ultra-high-definition screen.
The four-episode documentary explores the geographical characteristics and evolution of the titular river and recounts the locals' efforts in environmental conservation. Additionally, the program features archaeological sites discovered along the river and its basin and the area's economic development and international integration.
