New Year Concerts Need Regulation
Adjust font size:

More than twenty concerts will be held to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, but concerns have been raised about the uneven quality of many shows.

A number of media organizations have published opinions saying the New Year concert industry needs tighter regulations because it's developing so fast and with so much potential.

Beijing Daily Messenger reports the quality of the concerts is patchy because they're performed by a variety of Chinese and international orchestras with different levels of experience.

Tan Lihua, the Art Director of Beijing Symphony Orchestra, is familiar with the phenomenon.

He says a lot of the orchestras are neither formal nor professional, and they stage the concerts just for money.

Guan Xia, Chief of China National Symphony Orchestra, says the concert organizers should be responsible for ensuring the quality of their concerts, but related government departments should also impose tough controls.
