"I have many Chinese friends, but I have to say this is my first time to see this kind of performance. I had watched the Chinese New Year Concert in the Golden Hall. But this one is different. I think this concert is excellent!" said an audience.
The live performance of Chinese calligraphy was conducted by Li Binquan, a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association.
This concert marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Austria.
The concert was organized by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, in cooperation with the Austrian-Chinese Cultural Exchange Association and the Austrian-Chinese Friendship Association.
