Shanghai Philharmonic serenades passengers in transit

The Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra performed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport Terminal 2's check-in hall on Monday, before boarding their flight to Gansu Province for a series of concerts.

The orchestra played Lu Qiming's "Ode to the Red Flag," Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance," and Offenbach's "Can-Can." Liu Wenwen, a young suona performer, performed "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" with the sounds of the double-reed echoing through the departure hall.

Conductor Zhang Liang said the ensemble perform classical music in cafes, cruise ships, and public transit hubs to better connect with the public.
