The artistic work harmonizes the mystique of Dunhuang, the grandeur of aerospace achievements, and the poetic essence of Jiangnan culture, showcasing Wuxi's innovative cultural practice.

The Wuxi Symphony Orchestra has performed at NCPA over a year since its debut performance in 2024 — a leap from the shores of Taihu Lake to the national cultural landmark.

Established in 2008 and held biennially, the China Orchestra festival is an art festival curated by the NCPA.
