"We need a moment to relax during the festival."

Tianjin Song and Dance Theater president Lu Sheng, who heads the newly founded Poly Tiange Traditional Chinese Orchestra, says repertoires will include classic Chinese works, such as The Spring Festival Overture composed by Li Huanzhi in 1949, Dance of the Yao People by Peng Xiuwen and suona (double-reeded horn) solo piece Family Portrait performed by Zhao Cuncai.

"It'll be the first time for the orchestra to perform in the capital during Spring Festival, and all the music pieces fit the festive atmosphere," Lu says.

Poly Tiange Traditional Chinese Orchestra just gave a series of New Year concerts in Tianjin and plans to tour cities in Hebei province after the Spring Festival holiday.
