The ancient buildings music season "Timeless Acoustics within the Ancient Walls" commenced on Thursday at the Temple of Earth Park, ushering in a cultural celebration that bridges history and modernity. With an autumn breeze gently sweeping through Beijing, a harmonious symphony of the past and present resonated throughout the historical site.

The Fasting Palace at the Temple of Earth Park, with its distinctive architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for the season's opening performance. Renowned percussionist Wang Jia'nan, along with his ensemble, gave a powerful performance of traditional Chinese drumming.

This feast of culture, themed "Reviving Cultural Heritage through Music," not only honors China's traditional music but also breathes new life into ancient architectural spaces.

From September 26 to October 28, the music season will feature performances at several national heritage sites across Beijing including the Temple of Earth Park, the Temple of Agriculture, Guozijian (or Imperial College), the Bell and Drum Towers, the Five Pagoda Temple, Dajue Temple, Miaoying Temple and the Temple of Longevity. These historical venues will serve as natural stages, enriching Beijing's autumn with profound cultural significance.
