19th Auckland Lantern Festival 元宵灯节演出

From the 1st to the 4th of March 2018, the 19th Chinese Lantern Festival, organised by the Auckland City Council, was held at the Auckland Domain. Zheng’s Music Studio was honoured to be invited to perform at the closing ceremony on March 4th. As night fell, thousands of themed lanterns created a spectacular scene of dazzling lights, mirroring the numerous beautiful and intricate lanterns adorning the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

During the closing ceremony of this lantern festival, Zheng’s Music Studio performed several pieces: the joyful and auspicious Happy and Cheerful, the fragrant Jasmine Flower, the folk tune Purple Bamboo Melody, rich with the essence of Jiangnan's watery towns, the lively pop song Little Apple, and the timeless New Year's classic Congratulations. Amidst the brilliantly lit lanterns and splendid fireworks, the melodious guzheng music flowed like a gentle stream, creating an enchanting atmosphere. What more could one wish for?

2018年3月1日至4日，由奥克兰市政府主办的第十九届中国元宵灯节在Auckland Domain举行。十分荣幸，新西兰筝乐工作室受邀参加3月4日闭幕式的演出。夜幕降临之时，数千盏主题花灯呈现出火树银花不夜天的壮观景象，与奥克兰海湾大桥无数华美精致的彩灯相映，大放异彩。

在本次灯会的闭幕式中，筝乐工作室表演的曲目包括：寓意喜庆美好的《喜洋洋》，花香四溢的《茉莉花》，极富江南水乡气息的民间小曲《紫竹调》，曲调活泼的流行歌曲《小苹果》，经久不衰的贺年金曲《恭喜恭喜》。在这华灯高照，烟火灿烂之时，耳畔传来如潺潺流水般灵动的筝音，意境如此，夫复何求？
