About the project

A Shanghai Spring programme bringing stories of ceramic art together with Italian songs, orchestral music and opera. Three chapters—Journey, Return and Fusion—unfold under music director Tang Muhai with the Jingdezhen Vocational University of Art Symphony Orchestra.

Part of the 2025 China–Italy music exchange season, the concert places the story of porcelain alongside Italian music. Its three chapters—Journey, Return and Fusion—connect folk music, flute and opera arias with the movement of ceramic art across cultures.
