East meets West at the Great Wall of China

On the evening of 1 July, the 2025 Reignwood Summer Concert ‘When East Meets West’ took place at the foot of the Great Wall of China. Chinese pianist Liu Shikun played the epic ‘Ode to the Yellow River’ on the legendary Kayserburg KA212 grand piano.

World-renowned tenor Plácido Domingo conducted the Central Ballet Symphony Orchestra and sang classics such as ‘The Country of Smiles.’ Together with Liu Shikun, he performed the peace song ‘The Sky of Peace’ – a musical message for peace and cultural awareness.

The concert also featured symphonic works, traditional Beijing operas and the Hanggai orchestra pieces ‘Rising Sun’ and ‘Night in Ulaanbaatar’. The presenter Dashan presented Chinese cultural heritage with a symphonic recitation.
