On 30 September 2024, the Auckland University Symphony Orchestra will present the concert "Azure Canopy" at St Matthew-in-the-City, Auckland, conducted by Jono Palmer. Guzheng artist Zheng Lin will debut her new work "Cyan Beyond Blue" for guzheng and orchestra, marking its world premiere. The concert theme, "Azure Canopy," comes from the title of the first movement, reflecting the fusion and interaction between Eastern and Western music, symbolising the innovation and breakthrough of guzheng artistry in the modern era.

The programme will feature a blend of classic and modern works. Opening with Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" overture, it will be followed by Zheng Lin’s "Out of the Blue". The concert will conclude with Brahms' Symphony No. 4.
