At the concert, the orchestra affectionately performed excerpts
from the works of the famous Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos
Jobim, as well as familiar Chinese songs such as "Mo Li Hua", "The
Butterfly Lovers" and "Big Fish and Begonia", and incorporated
various art forms such as Beijing Opera, Chorus, Chinese folk
music, etc., bringing the audience an audio-visual art feast with
the cultural characteristics of China and Brazil.
The Mare Youth Symphony Orchestra is a social welfare project
that the State Grid has supported in Brazil for a long time since
2011. This is the first time that the orchestra has come to China
for cultural exchange. During the event, the orchestra also held a
flash mob event at Beijing Xidan Renewal Field, and performed
Chinese-Brazilian music works at Shougang Park and Badaling Great
Wall, vividly demonstrating the friendship and cultural integration
between the two peoples. The orchestra members also visited the
Palace Museum, the Temple of Heaven, the Bird's Nest and other
Beijing landmarks to deeply experience the charm of Chinese
culture.
State Grid complies with the global trend of sustainable
development, adheres to the concept of green development, and
actively serves the joint construction of the "Belt and Road". It
not only supports a number of public welfare projects in Brazil,
but also plays an important role in China-Brazil energy
cooperation. The State Grid Brazil Holding Company and CPFL
Energia, which it invests in and operates, as well as a number of
transmission projects, have made outstanding contributions to
promoting Brazil's energy transformation.
