From Hong Kong to Guangzhou, 21-year-old Zhuo Junwei was very excited. In recent days, the violin girl not only rehearsed with the chief of the top orchestra in China, but also had the opportunity to meet the Shanghai quartet face to face and recharge in the rich master class. Recently, many young people like Zhuo Junwei have gone to Guangzhou. They come from Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao... There is only one goal - Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay Area (Guangdong) International Youth Music Week (YMCG). "Youth is our future." Guangdong International Youth Music Week was initiated by conductor Yu Long and has been held for seven consecutive sessions since 2017. This year, it was officially renamed as Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area (Guangdong) International Youth Music Week. From February 13 to 20, YMCG was held in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which are full of green. The upgraded Music Week became even more lively. The Hong Kong Orchestra, Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra and Macao Orchestra joined the big family of Music Week for the first time, and cooperated with the "elders" Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra and Xinghai Concert Hall to participate in the grand event. Looking back at this Music Week, Yu Long admitted that the organization work was "extremely difficult", but it achieved an "unprecedented and perfect display of young people". Li Weigang and Li Honggang of the Shanghai Quartet in the master class guided the string quartet of the Macao Youth Symphony Orchestra. At the closing concert, the YMCG Orchestra came on stage, and the students and 29 chief musicians performed side by side. Face to face with the Shanghai quartet, and shoulder to shoulder with the 29 chief executives, "It's very exciting!" Speaking of YMCG, Li Weigang, the first violin of the Shanghai quartet, blurted out this word. This year's Music Week attracted the chief performers, ensemble groups, young students, symphony concerts, chamber music concerts, master classes, dialogues, and other activities of professional orchestras from Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and the Greater Bay Region, as well as from all over the country. It is YMCG's tradition to attach importance to the training of chamber music, and this year is no exception. The Shanghai quartet can be regarded as the star teacher of the master class. In two days, they took 16 chamber music lessons for eight groups of student quartets from the Central Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Wuhan Conservatory of Music, Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Xinghai Conservatory of Music, Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts and Macao Youth Symphony Orchestra. "They will do interesting demonstrations, such as how to deal with phrases, which is very infectious. The string quartet of the Macao Youth Symphony Orchestra is also looking forward to being inspired by the Shanghai quartet. The violinist Madonna was stopped by the cellist Nicolas Savalas. "He seems to understand every instrument very well." "The students' level is quite high." Li Weigang was surprised to find out. He was particularly impressed by the quartet from Macao. Several high school students were not music majors, but had a good sense of music. What the teacher said could immediately respond. Everyone asked enthusiastically, "You will see that when they are inspired, their eyes will shine, as if they understood something in a flash, which is the greatest reward for us."
