The musical program of the Grand Chinese New Year Concert tour 2026
The program of the tour is composed by the orchestra, like every year, to specifically demonstrate the specialities of the region from which the orchestra comes. Each region in China has its own musical tradition with different sounds and contents. This year, the orchestra comes from the province Jiangsu, aus deren Hauptstadt WuXi. The province is showing off with its beautiful landscape, but the center is definitely the capital WuXi with its origins 3 000 years back. During the lase 20 years it developed rapidly into a population of more than 7 000 inhabitants. It has a university which grants its exams to students following German traditions.
The Great Chinese New Year Concert 2026 in its tour is visiting the finest concert halls in Europe, but one of them is very special: The old farm house of Gut Varrel in the municipality of Stuhr, close to Bremen. Stuhr adopted this concert in 2005 for the first time, and since then is supporting the performance which became widely known in the area as a fixed date of high culture experience. Meanwhile a great fan community visits the concert every year, and the local cable TV organisations are reporting about the concert as well as newspapers and magazines in and around Stuhr.
