On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Austria and China, an anniversary concert will be held at the famous Winland Financial Center in Beijing on May 29, 2021. World-renowned pianist Claudia Yang, who was awarded the Austrian Music Theater Prize in 2020, will perform selected pieces by Schubert. The Austrian musician duo known in China consisting of “Fritz Kreisler” award winner Tymur Melnyk (violin) and International Steinway Award winner Patrick Lechner (piano), will also present musical highlights from their repertoire. The festivities will also include the opening of a photography exhibition by the artist couple RongRong&inri, curated by Beijing’s leading photo gallery “Three Shadows”. Both artists completed an artist-in-residence program in Austria 20 years ago and at that time created the now newly revised “In Bad Goisern” series. The works focus on the ambivalent relationship of the naked human being to nature.
