London, Aug.
On Friday night, the concert at Saffron Hall in Ezex, east of England, attracted more than 600 people, the last stop of the British tour, and many are eager to take advantage of one of the leading music groups of China.
The final tips of the “Wu Jing” (five components) by composer Sen Gigang, filled with air, applause and a clear hall. Saffron Hall Director Angela Dixon said she was proud to have won the Chinese band.
The Edinburgh International Festival, the highlight of the 2025, attracted about 2,000 people in Edinburgh on Wednesday night. Apart from Chinese chimponic works, the band cooperated with musicians around the world.
“In our group's organization and review, this tour is rooted in China, embracing the world,” the general manager of the NCBA band, Ren Chiong, told Sinhua on Wednesday, before the first show of Archestra in Edinburg.

“We need to learn more about Chinese music and thereby get to know Chinese culture,” Henry Rose, who lives in Edinburg, said.
“With our performances, we are telling Chinese stories. We clearly and enthusiastically transmit the Chinese voice, which allows audiences around the world to learn the attractiveness of Chinese culture,” said Javo Haing of the NCBA.
On Thursday, Archestra artists offered an act of Edinburg, mixing pieces from China and other countries to promote cultural transfer.
Edinburg's Deputy Rector Leslie Marian Cameron welcomed Chinese artists and hoped that in the future the NCPA would get more artists from the band.
