Famous Chinese guqin player Chen Leiji will collaborate with the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra for a concert of Chinese music Friday at the Shenzhen Concert Hall.

    Chen holds a master’s degree in orchestral conducting from the Rheims Conservatory in France. His in-depth study of Chinese and Western musical traditions places him at a point of confluence to establish unity in the world even as we grow profoundly conscious of the treasures of diversity.
