Chinese, U.S. musicians impress New Yorkers with 'China Story' (Xinhua)

"It is sensational, and it contains so much spiritual meaning, as to who we are and what we represent as inhabitants of this planet," Nadia Kay, a New York resident, told Xinhua during the intermission.

"I think it will be remembered for many many generations," she added.

For Anne Parsons, president and CEO of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the warm response from New Yorkers was no surprise at all.

"The music is so beautiful and also so well orchestrated ... especially the variation from piece to piece, the integration of traditional instruments, and the sound of the traditional Chinese musical culture. I think the American audience will love it, as we do during the rehearsals in Detroit," she told Xinhua minutes before the start of the concert.

Parsons said that the Orchestra felt "honored" to be able to participate in the musical "collaboration between China and the United States," and to work with "an outstanding composer" from China.

"This is the first one, and we hope there will be more activities," she noted.
