Conductor Tan Lihua and the Beijing Symphony Orchestra gave a performance at the opening concert, paying tribute to the 200th anniversary of Johann Strauss II with the composer's classics. Thirteen-year-old pianist Wang Ziyin performed Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor alongside the orchestra.

"Like all the young and grown-up art lovers, I eagerly look forward to this festival every year. It has become a heavyweight artistic brand in China, accompanying generations of audiences for over 30 years," said Tan, the co-founder of the festival, which was introduced in 1995 and aimed at offering art lovers, especially children, with a diverse array of art forms.

In addition to Beijing, the festival also extends its reach to Tianjin and cities in Hebei province, including Tangshan, Baoding and Hengshui, promising a summer filled with artistic delights for audiences across the region.
