Highland Park Library Performance 指筝朝夕 筝筝日上（九）

On the 19th of May 2019, Zheng’s Music Studio was invited to perform at Highland Park Library as part of New Zealand Music Month. This event also marked the ninth instalment of the studio’s community outreach series, ‘Guzheng Practice from Morning to Night, Steady Progress Every Day.’

The concert opened with New Songs from Dongting Lake, which vividly portrayed the beautiful scenery of the Dongting region, with its shimmering waters and rich harvests. The programme also included Little Rabbit, Be Good, Water Splashing, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Battling the Typhoon, Spring Seedlings, Yao Ethnic Dance, and Fisherman’s Song at Dusk. The performance concluded with the lively Harvest Festival Drums and Gongs, celebrating both the joy of harvest and the students’ sense of achievement in their learning.

Since its establishment, Zheng’s Music Studio has been committed to community engagement. Through events like this, the studio aims to provide students with opportunities to share their learning, while also introducing more people to the beauty of traditional Chinese music and the expressive charm of the guzheng.

2019年5月19日，新西兰筝乐工作室有幸受邀参加新西兰音乐月—— Highland Park 图书馆的演出，同时，这也是工作室“指筝朝夕，筝筝日上”第九次走进社区系列活动。

音乐会以《洞庭新歌》拉开帷幕，生动描绘了美不胜收的洞庭美景，带领观众一同走进了碧波荡漾、稻谷飘香的洞庭鱼米之乡。除此之外，筝乐工作室还为观众们带来了《小兔乖乖》、《泼水》、《闪烁的小星星》、《战台风》、《春苗》、《瑶族舞曲》、《渔舟唱晚》等曲目。最后以一首欢快雀跃的《丰收锣鼓》，既展现了劳动人民欢庆丰收的美好景象，又表达了孩子们学有所长、学有所得的欢喜之情。

       新西兰筝乐工作室从创办至今，一直致力于社区公益活动。通过此次活动，我们不仅希望孩子们可以有更多平台展示自己的学习成果，更致力于将中国传统音乐文化的悠扬典雅与书香相伴，让更多的人感知到古筝——这一中国传统乐器的魅力。
