The Shanghai Chinese Orchestra staged a successful musical show "Oriental Elegance" at Mexico's National Center for the Arts (Cenart) over the weekend.
The renowned musical ensemble, featuring classic Chinese instruments, offered a concert of mostly traditional music at Cenart's main Blas Galindo Theater, in the lead up to its participation later this week in the International Cervantino Festival, Mexico's premiere annual cultural celebration.
Orchestra members specialized in instruments such as erhu, also known as the Chinese violin; bamboo flute; sheng, a wind instrument consisting of multiple reed pipes; ruan or moon guitar; and zheng or zither.
