The concert used the power of symphonic music to bring timeless film melodies to life, featuring scores from classics such as "The Sound of Music," "Titanic," and "Journey to the West." The performances also seamlessly integrated diverse artistic expressions, ranging from solo vocals and Peking opera to children’s choir and traditional instruments, crafting a rich, emotionally resonant tapestry on stage.
