A 2019 International Friendship Concert is set to take place on June 13 in Xiamen, East China's Fujian province, local media reported.
Roughly 900 government officials, expatriate experts, honorary citizens, other international guests and local residents are expected to attend the concert.
An orchestra from Manila in the Philippines will be invited to give a piano trio performance. Established in 2017, the band was inspired by Dr. Abraham Garang II, a pianist that performed at the Berlin Concert.
The orchestra consists of three most outstanding musicians – a violinist, a cellist and a pianist – and their superb performance will provide the audience with a splendid acoustic feast.
The annual event was launched by Xiamen People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries in 2010 to entertain local residents with theme concerts by inviting musicians from its international sister cities.
China has decided to extend its visa waiver policy to ordinary passport holders from Canada and the United Kingdom starting from Feb 17.
Forty-one new port-of-entry duty-free shops have been established nationwide, with Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport, Xiamen Wutong Passenger Wharf, and Xiamen International Cruise Center included on the list.
