The “2017 Tianying Media Variety Concert”, sponsored by the 2017 Summer Davos Forum Coordination Office and the Dalian Xinghaiwan Development and Construction Management Center, is to be held in the Damai Center (Dalian Sports Center – Stadium) on the evening of June 26, when the singers will present a full-blast vocal festival to all the citizens of the city.
Dalian Sports Center, a complex facility providing integrative services for professional sports events, artistic performances, team training, commercial exhibitions and citizen fitness sports, is regarded as a name card of the city to display to domestic and foreign visitors the achievement of opening-up and innovation accomplished in Dalian. This concert has invited a number of domestic and foreign superstars, including the “Prince of Love Ballads” -Jeff Chang, the “King of Banjo”- Béla Fleck, and his wife, the “Queen of Electronic Music” - Laure Shang, Ukrainian Classical-Pop Crossover Queen - Arina Domski, the “Iron Lung Queen” - Julia Pang, etc, among whom Béla Fleck has been nominated for the Grammy Awards for more than 30 times and has won the award on 16 occasions, covering the domains of Modern Jazz, World Music and Contemporary Folk, etc. Whether in terms of varying spectacular styles or splendid ethereal voice, Arina Domski would very likely remind you of Sarah Brightman, not to mention her songs selected for the concert, which are very close to those of Sarah Brightman either in terms of melodies or of styles. It is for this reason that she is reputed as La Luna of Ukraine. These well-known Chinese and foreign artists will bring to the audience a colorful music and cultural experience. Apart from this, the sponsor of the concert has put aside a part of the tickets in the interest of the candidates for the National College Entrance Examination. By showing his/her Admission Card for National College Entrance Examination, any student who has just completed this round of NEE can obtain a complimentary ticket from the Ticket Office in the lobby of Kempinski Hotel Dalian, while his/her parents can enjoy a fifty percent discount.
Hosting an international all star vocal concert will be another perfect opportunity for popularizing the knowledge about Dalian during the session for the Summer Davos Forum. This concert, which can be compared to a collision between Chinese and foreign arts, will not only present an unparalleled audio-visual feast for Chinese and foreign guests, but also display the infinite charm of Dalian as a famous sports and cultural city.
