Youth Music Festival Achievement Showcase Concert

The Beijing.HongKong.Macau Youth Music Festival is hosted by Beijing Music Festival Arts Foundation and undertaken by Central Conservatory of Music Middle School. It consists of two parts: the Beijing.Hongkong.Macau Youth Symphony Orchestra and the festival itself. The festival serves as a platform for young people from Beijing, Hong Kong, and Macau, who gather here to collaborate with and learn from each other in artistic exchanges for mutual progress. It advocates the development of musical culture among the young, discovers young talents in music, builds a base for aesthetic education, emphatically promotes traditional Chinese culture, and enables young people to showcase the best of what China can offer. As a benchmark cultural event for the young in Beijing, the Beijing.HongKong.Macau Youth Music Festival endeavors to promote exchanges in music, art, and culture among young people in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Macao for accomplishment and prosperity.
