The sky at which the poets have cast their centuries-long gaze are the same as those in our sight today. The oldest of all things — the river, lofty mountain, and verdant wood — all maintain their ancient postures. The stress and anxiety of modern society takes it toll on us all; ancient Chinese culture calls on us to follow the way of nature, with equality and harmony at its core, to achieve the harmonious development of human beings, nature and society. East Wind’s presents ‘All Things in Harmony’, a concert marrying East and West, ancient and modern, nature and technology through century-old poems and new music to bring into focus the concept of coexistence of home, hope, harmony and health in honour of Chinese New Year.

Five composers of Chinese-origin will premiere their works in this concert in the UK in association with London musicians. Along internationally recognised, classically trained singers and instrumentalists, the ancient instrument, Konghou, rarely heard outside of China and travelling to the UK especially for this concert, and Peking Opera, the ancient Chinese voice, will combine to bring a unique concert experience to curious London audiences

2024年的第一場東風，將吹向生生不息的萬物。 「東風Ⅳ」音樂會以「萬物共生」作為主題，透過多元豐富的音樂類型，呈現不同時代作曲家們對自然，對生命及對現代萬物的表達：從對四季和江河神話的聲樂演唱，到對梨花和海岸的讚頌；從對雷和閃電的敬畏，到對上海地鐵樞紐川流不息的演繹。

在即將到來的農曆新年，來自中國大陸，中國香港，英國，希臘，瑞士，美國等不同地域的24位音樂家們將共同匯聚於此，在“東風Ⅳ”的舞台，英國首演五位作曲家週龍，陳怡，董葵，Sam Wu，陳哲的作品。他們將透過音樂的表達，傳達萬物共生的敘事，並一同慶祝新一年的到來。

守護「東風」將不是輕柔催使萬物的東風，而是肆意馳騁過後，世間甦醒，萬物相競向上而生的東⻛。— 劉伽雨
