On the occasion of the 35th Anniversary of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, this special gala performance Greetings from the Tianshan Mountains brings together the finest talents from the Dance Academy and Music Academy of Xinjiang Arts University, presenting a series of masterpieces that showcase the full splendor and diversity of Xinjiang's ethnic arts.
The performance opens with the ancient, resonant rhythms of the Muqam, immediately igniting the audience with the percussive intensity of the drum solo Bountiful Harvest. The Tajik dance Feelings of the Pamirs and the Kazakh duet Harmonious Melody vividly capture the passionate yet tender spirit of the grassland peoples, while Glamour · Murals brings to life the timeless elegance of thousand-year-old grotto paintings through fluid, graceful movements.
A medley of folk instrumental and vocal performances weaves together beloved classics such as Why Are the Flowers So Red? and Dance of Youth. The dance piece McAití Under the Sun stands out as a highlight, having won both the prestigious Chinese Dance "Lotus Award" and the National Cultural Program Award. Hailed by the media as a "breakout sensation" in the dance world, it has become a landmark work that transcends traditional boundaries.
On October 14th, Greetings from the Tianshan Mountains will travel across mountains and seas — coming to you with an unforgettable cultural feast.
