The Hong Kong String Orchestra is known as "the combination of Chinese and Western music in Hong Kong". It was founded by internationally renowned violinist Yao Jue. Since 2013, it has often cooperated with well-known Chinese and foreign musicians and art troupes, and has visited the United States, Finland, Sweden and other countries and regions. .
At present, Thailand has become the country with the longest duration, the highest specifications, the largest scale, and the most influential "Happy Chinese New Year" activities held overseas. It is reported that during the "Happy Chinese New Year" event this year, the Bangkok Chinese Cultural Center will hold performances, exhibitions and other activities. It will also adhere to the concept of "going out of the center and reaching the people" and enter Bangkok, Thailand's major shopping malls, universities, middle schools and primary schools, as well as foreign governments. Let the spread of Chinese culture be more "grounded and popular", and promote people-to-people bonds.
