Symphony drums to the beat of environmental protection

The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra will premiere Trees, a new repertoire with an environmental protection theme, on July 5, during the upcoming Music in the Summer Air festival.

The orchestra has presented the annual festival since 2010 to serve as a crossover event introducing classical music to wider audiences.

The event, featuring the theme "To the Future", will be held from July 1 to 13. It will exhibit the harmonious existence of humans and nature, with the debut of Trees being a highlight.
