The Belt and Road Art Talent Training Program 2022 will enable students from countries along the land and maritime Silk Road to learn Chinese art and culture in a multi-dimensional, multi-angle and multi-faceted manner through the study of both traditional Chinese folk music and traditional Chinese opera. The STA will focus on exploring opera art aesthetics, the relationship between music and performance, as well as the interweaving connection between Chinese tradition and the culture of the countries along the Belt and Road in terms of the artistic performance in opera art. The SHCM will invite prestigious educators, performing artists and young teachers to deliver a comprehensive programme for international students to learn appreciate and experience the most typical traditional Chinese and foreign musical instruments along the Silk Road.
