Timeless Melody Concert

35-Year Anniversary Concert – Zhongguo Sheng & Hiroko Seta
Timeless Melody: Unprecedented Beauty of Eastern and Western Music

Returning 35 years after his first Australian Tour, “The Chinese Yehudi Menuhin” Zhongguo Sheng and his soul mate, Japanese pianist Hiroko Seta, will ignite Melbourne with a night of Timeless Melody.

“Chinese Yehudi Menuhin”:
In 1979, Sheng performed Bach’s Double Concerto with Yehudi Menuhin, one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, and was praised by Menuhin as “the best partner in China to perform Bach”.

35-year Anniversary Australia Tour:
In 1980, Sheng became the first Chinese solo artist to perform in Australia. His successful tour of Australia ultimately led the Australian Broadcasting Company to list Zhongguo Sheng as “one of the world’s greatest artists”.

“The Golden Pair”:
Music forms the life of Zhongguo Sheng and Hiroko Seta. Because of music, they met, fell in love and became the timeless love of each other. Performing together extensively since 1987 across Asia, “The Golden Pair” will immerse audience with love, passion and faith this July in Melbourne.

“The Butterfly Lovers”:
“The Golden Pair” will bring China’s most spectacular love story, The Butterfly Lovers to life on stage, which is known as the Oriental Romeo and Juliet. Zhonguo Sheng’s rendition of The Butterfly Lovers confronts love and death through his exquisite techniques and poetic expression with his understanding of both Eastern and Western music.

For each ticket sold, $5 will be donated to Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation to help more children to enjoy a healthy life.
