Suite of Spring Festival

Concert
Written By Ausfeng Group

The Chinese celebrate the new year for 15 days in the first lunar month, which is collectively called “Chun (春) Jie” (Spring Festival). In 1955, Huanzhi Li wrote the Spring Festival Suite which includes Yangge folk dance, love song, and Suona horn theme from the Shanbei region. It was an instant hit and the opening movement of the suite became the best-known music for Chinese New Year anywhere around the world. The entire suite, however, has never been performed in Australia and apparently has not been performed for more than a decade within China. It is our great pleasure to bring you the entire Spring Festival Suite for the very first time in Australia, live in concert to celebrate the Year of the Tiger.
