Symbolically bridging the cultures, the orchestra enchanted the audience by performing the beloved Chinese song My Homeland<\/em> and the famous Swallow<\/em> by Stevan Hristic. The evening concluded on a highly emotional and ceremonial note with Sibelius\u2019 Andante festivo<\/em>.<\/p>\n The magnificent National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, built in 2007, represents a fusion of modern architecture and traditional Chinese culture.
