Guangdong Chinese Traditional Orchestra will give a concert at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne for the International Olympic Committee tomorrow to celebrate the Spring Festival as well as to welcome the Beijing Olympic Games in August.

Under the baton of Hu Bingxu, who enjoys fame by conducting traditional Chinese music and Peking Opera, the 80-member Guangdong orchestra will play a program including Cantonese music Dragon Boat Race and Autumn Moon over a Placid Lake, the guqin piece Flowing Water, the pipa concerto Spring and Autumn and orchestral piece adapted from Peking Opera Mu Guiying Takes Command.

It is one of the concerts in the orchestra's European tour during the Spring Festival. They embarked on the one-month-tour from Lucerne in Switzerland on January 25 and perform in Munich, Antwerp, Bremen, Hanover, Prague, Vienna and Lausanne.
