On February 20, 2024, the 2024 Sino-German Art Salon was grandly held at the Lijing Hotel. A guest from afar, renowned German performer Professor Christoph Henkel, and his friends brought a unique music feast to the citizens of Qingdao.
The salon opened, and Professor Henkel and his friends conveyed beautiful greetings to the audience with beautiful music. This Sino-German art salon reflects the extensive cooperation and exchange between China and Germany in fields such as culture, technology, and education. The friendly relationship and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries have not only benefited their peoples, but also made important contributions to world peace and development.
In the public welfare master class, Professor Henkel gave lectures and explanations to two Qingdao cello children on site, focusing on the most concerned, typical, and universal issues in youth learning and practice. He provided many valuable guidance.
At the end of the salon, Professor Henkel and the teachers and students of the Lexian Youth Orchestra performed classic performances for the live audience, winning endless applause from the audience. The successful conclusion of the Sino-German Art Salon, which uses music as a bridge, not only promotes the deepening of music exchanges between China and Germany, but also promotes friendly exchanges and economic and trade cooperation between the two peoples.
