Under the artistic direction of Berlin jazz pianist Clara Haberkamp and percussionist HU Shengnan, who lives in Berlin and Beijing, a new ensemble was formed in December 2025 at the intersection of jazz, classical European and traditional Chinese music. The musicians \u2013 alumni and students of Berlin music academies and the Beijing Central Conservatory \u2013 performed a jointly curated, innovative concert programme that combines the rhythms of both countries. Concerts took place at universities in Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou and in Beijing. The collaboration between Berlin and Beijing musicians was characterised by a respectful and curious partnership.<\/p>

The ensemble encountered a young and interested audience who sought an exchange with the artists even after the concert.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As part of the festival within the festival \u2018re:play \u2013 Freedom of Sound\u2019 at Young Euro Classic 2024, jazz pianist Clara Haberkamp and solo percussionist HU Shengnan developed a programme to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Berlin-Beijing city partnership. In doing so, they combined impressionism and Chinese folklore. This German-Chinese concert created a unique soundscape of percussion and piano, complemented by the sounds of cello, double bass and horn together with traditional Chinese instruments.<\/p>

The ensemble transcended genre boundaries and explored new combinations of instruments. Tradition and modernity exist simultaneously and influence each other in constant interaction. In this context, centuries-old musical traditions demonstrate their relevance in today\u2019s music world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A sold-out anniversary concert: On the occasion of 50 years of diplomatic relations, international virtuosos and up-and-coming young musicians lift treasures of the cultural nations Germany and China. In subtle arrangements, we embark on a journey through the ages, with music from J. S. Bach, F. Schubert, R. Schumann, W. A. Mozart to Y. WANG to masterpieces for traditional Chinese instruments. Supplemented by impulses from literature and image projections, we ponder on what essentially makes our cultures distinct and related.

In co-production with the world-renowned China National Peking Opera Company, a whole new theatrical language was developed for cultural exchange: building on Wagner\u2019s\u00a0Ring of the Nibelung<\/em>, eastern and western traditions were brought into a thrilling dialogue. The directors Anna Peschke and Wang Huquan, with Liu Dake, melded the stylized traditions of the Peking Opera with the archaic themes of the Nibelung myth to forge a vivid and exciting musical theater production that took us on a journey through exotic worlds and addressed the current issues of our times. New worlds of sound were built on the exciting frictions and musical interplay of modern European and Chinese compositions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Starting with the\u00a0Young Euro Classic Orchestra Germany-China<\/em>, in which German and Chinese musicians met to perform at a ceremony in Beijing marking 35 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, a peerless exchange was born. The innovative connection between the two countries via artistic collaborations led to a cooperation that, year after year, heralded new successes, such as the 40th and 45th anniversaries of German-Chinese relations. Committed partners made the collaborations possible, especially LANXESS AG, as well our unparalled artistic partners at the Central Conservatory in Beijing, the Berlin University of the Arts, Villa Musica Rhineland-Palatinate and John Neumeier\u2019s National Youth Ballet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
