SARAJEVO, August 6 (FENA) - The international festival "Grad 2018", (The City), organized by the International Peace Center, opens tonight with a multimedia exhibition at the Collegium Artisticum gallery, while the the Bosnian Cultural Center will be the venue for the concert "Heavenly Sounds of the Flute and Xiao" by the Flute Orchestra from Beijing.

Art Director of the Festival, Ibrahim Spahić, said at a press conference that the Flute Orchestra, which will present itself to the Sarajevo audience, is among the best in China.

The art director of the orchestra, a Chinese conservatory professor and leading flute expert Zhang Weiliang, said it was a great honor to perform in Sarajevo.

He said that the flute as an instrument is present in all countries, not only in China. However, the Chinese flute is special in its own way. Among the flutes (about ten types of them) that the audience will have a chance to hear tonight, there are those that are several thousand years old.

“Our flute has a long history of over 7,500 years. This instrument has never changed its shape or function,” said Weiliang.

Charge d'affaires of the Embassy of China in BiH, Zhou Yan, expressed satisfaction with the cooperation between Bosnia and Herzegovina and China, which exists in all fields, especially when it comes to cultural cooperation.

She invited everyone to come to the concert.

Chai Shuai, a member of the Flute Orchestra, emphasized that the orchestra does not only play traditional music but also modern forms, and that in 2017, it has introduced new instruments.

She said that their music is a mix of old and new and this makes it even more appealing.

She plays an old instrument called ‘erhu’, which she says sounds like a human voice.
