Dear Sir/Madam:

 

Early summer is a great time to enjoy sunshine and blossoms. Walking into Chenshan Botanical Garden, you will be delighted by the delicate fragrance and be amazed by beautiful roses, hydrangeas and other flowers blooming in a diverse and elegant manner.

On May 30-31, Chenshan Botanical Garden will hold a symphony concert of classical Chinese and foreign choral music, which will be the world’s first outdoor classical music concert after the epidemic. The organizer has invited famous Chinese conductor and pianist Xu Zhong to join hands with the Shanghai Opera House Orchestra and Chorus to perform famous Chinese and foreign musical works, so that the audiences can enjoy the same essence in Chinese and foreign cultures via a fusion of classical music and nature.

You and your family are welcome to attend the concert. Out of the necessity of epidemic prevention and control, please send the media name, attendees and contact information to touchshanghai@126.com by May 26. We will follow up with you later.
