The Vienna Children's Choir gave a big gift on National Day and sang "I Love You China"

"

Lark flies through the blue sky. I love you, China. I love your vigorous seedlings in spring, and I love your golden fruits in autumn..."On the evening of October 4, this familiar song echoed in the Concert Hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts. The wonderful children's voice sounded as warm as nature. This is a holiday gift brought to the audience in the capital by the children of the Vienna Children's Choir, a choir group that is the world's music capital. They use this song that every China can sing to express their love and emotion for China. This is also the first time that these little angels have sung this song live during a tour in China after CCTV News reported the "Victoria Boy version" of "I Love You China" a few months ago.

At more than 300 concerts every year, in addition to singing his own repertoire,"Wei Tong" sings local songs every time he visits to a country to reflect the feelings of common art. Previously, the tour in China had sung countless China songs such as "Jasmine" and "The Moon Represents My Heart", which were deeply loved by China audiences. That night, 25 musical elves dressed in navy uniforms conquered the ears and hearts of every audience at the scene with their pure voices and colorful songs. During this tour in China, the Vienna Children's Choir mainly focused on representative works of the Strauss family, and also selected several works with very different styles, including the classic track "Song of the Chimney" in the Disney movie "Joy Is Full of World", the "Street Children's Chorus and March" in Bizet's opera "Carmen" and the "Crowe Indian Ballad" full of Indian flavor. Of course,"Wei Tong" has also brought China local works such as "Gao Shanqing" and "Let's Saddle" as always. All night long, the children's pure and beautiful sound without any impurities and their heavenly singing sounded refreshing and intoxicating. The audience also dedicated their unstinting enthusiasm and applause to these little angels from the music capital.

Wei Tong's Beijing concert happened to coincide with the National Day. The group also specially arranged this song "I Love You China" during the return session. The little boy's stunning singing was like a lark flying from the jungle, which immediately aroused the audience. Strong resonance! As a holiday gift dedicated to China audiences,"Wei Tong" used this song that is a household name to China audiences to express his love for this ancient country and the deep friendship he has forged over the years. On the eve of the Spring Festival this year,"Wei Tong" specially recorded a single video of "I Love You China" in Vienna, using this special way to pay New Year greetings to China audiences. Once the video was broadcast on CCTV, it caused heated discussion, and it received hundreds of millions of clicks online.

On the afternoon of the concert,"Wei Tong" also opened open rehearsals to some audiences that night, demonstrated and shared their chorus vocal training methods on the spot, and sang Chinese and foreign songs with the audience, chorus educators and music lovers. Ms. Jiao Miao, resident conductor of the National Center for the Performing Arts Chorus, and Luis Goderoi, conductor of Victoria Boy, co-hosted the "Victoria Boy Art Salon Experience Sharing Activity". The two conductors matched each other, interacted, shared, and led everyone to warm up and learn to sing together., deeply benefiting the salon audience on site!

"Vietong" is one of the oldest choirs in the world. It was formerly known as the Royal Austrian Choir. With a history of more than 500 years, it has become a cultural business card of Austria and is also known as Austria's two major national treasures together with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. It is the most famous and excellent children's choir in the world. Famous musicians such as Mozart, Schubert, and Haydn were once members of this choir. The world's top artists and orchestras who have worked with "Viton" include conductors such as Karajan, Bernstein, Sordi, Abbado, Sir Marina, Zubin Meta, Muti, and Seiko Ozawa, as well as world-famous orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. The cooperation between Wei Tong and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has become a classic. The children used their heavenly voices to show the perfect combination of music and sound to the world, bringing the world a beautiful feast.

In 2017,"Wei Tong" was included in the world's intangible cultural heritage with its heavenly voice. Since 1999, I have been touring in China, and next year will mark the 20th anniversary of my tour in China. In the past 20 years,"Wei Tong" has a large number of loyal fans in China. This year,"Wei Tong" welcomed the first official member from the mainland of China in history, which brought the relationship between "Wei Tong" and China closer.
