Classical and popular: a grassland concert on Jiaojiang Campus held

A grassland concert named "Singing with You in Jiaojiang" was held at MIX Space in Jiaojiang Hehe Park in the afternoon of October 14th. This concert was given by Taizhou University Student Art Troupe as a part of 2023 Jiaojiang Hehe Voice Grassland Concerts.

The grassland was filled with tranquility and beauty on this autumn afternoon when the unforgettable performance was put on the stage.

In the melodious "Qing Yu An—The Lantern Festival", one can feel notes with both ancient prosperity and vicissitudes of life jumping in the air. Then, two songs with modern music elements—"An Ordinary Day" and "Big City and Little Love" made the concert more lively and richer in layers. Afterwards, nine songs were played out in an orderly and passionate manner.

The climax was the passionate performance of "My Country and I", which has not only embodied our deep love for the motherland, but also is a powerful and touching hymn. When the song was resounded through the sky, it made the audiences full of excitement.

"I was disappointed when last week's concert was cancelled due to bad weather, but luckily this time it was held as scheduled. Listening to their singing, I felt like I was back in my college days and full of vitality again." said Ms. Li, a nearby resident.

The 2023 Jiaojiang Hehe Voice Grassland Concerts, with music as the carrier, are committed to building an internet-famous site in the form of street culture and street performance. A "15-minute quality cultural life circle" will be shaped to meet people’s needs for high-quality spiritual life, add radiance to the civilized city of Taizhou, and permeate Hehe culture and Happy Taizhou into the hearts of the local people.

The event will last for one year. Special thanks go to China Mobile Jiaojiang Branch for this concert event.
