The Old Beijing Qiangqiang Art Troupe performed on the stage first a string of classic songs for the audience, followed by the performing artist Guo Jinhua, who presented the national treasure skill of Sichuan Opera face changing.
The highlight of the evening was a series of choral performances by the Sound of Music Coast Melody Chorus, including Those Were the Days, Happy Nadam, Song of Marino, Swallow, Edelweiss, Red River Valley, Beautiful Prairie My Home, The Heavenly Road, Youth Waltz and Love my China. Familiar melodies started to play, leading the audience to wander in a sea of musical notes and arousing countless beautiful memories.
The Sound of Music Coastal Melody Choir is the fastest growing folk art group on the Gold Coast. It brings together a group of vocal music lovers who love singing and keep improving. The conductor Bao Guoqing is a well-known singer and conductor in Inner Mongolia of China.

The Queensland Dance Academy is a professional dance education institution founded by Miss Angela, a Chinese dancer in Australia. She once participated in the compilation of teaching materials of Chinese ethnic and folk dance in the Undergraduate Department of Beijing Dance Academy.
Towards the end of the evening party, the Blenders sang unaccompanied English songs, leaving the audience with music lingered in the air long after the performance.
This event is sponsored solely by Sea&City Group and also supported by many travel groups in Australia. At the scene, we brought rich gifts for the audience, and the atmosphere of the lucky draw is very warm.
The great success of the Sound of Music Multicultural Festival is inseparable from the dedication of all the actors and staff. In the current epidemic situation, I believe that these wonderful songs and wonderful dances will give people infinite spirit strength and confidence to look forward to a better life together.
Jeremy Sun, CEO of Sea&City Group, said at the award ceremony, "Sea&City Group has always paid great attention to and concerned for the development of local community culture, especially the integration of Chinese community culture with the local culture. It is my great honor to have the opportunity to provide a bridge of cultural exchange for the art lovers. I am grateful to the Chinese cultural associations for providing rich and diverse cultural works to the local community. I hope that there will be more cultural and social interaction between Chinese associations and local cultural institutions in the future."
