To further promote the integration of mental health education and subject teaching, the 2026 XLIS Spring Festival Symphony Concertwas successfully held on January 10th.
This concert aimed to guide teachers and students to experience cultural confidence within the grandeur of symphonic movements and cultivate international sentiments through refined artistic immersion. Several outstanding campus orchestras from Xi’an Beilin Tie Wu Primary School, Xi’an Gaoxin Greenwich Junior Middle School, and XLIS, along with the Wind Orchestra of the Shaanxi Provincial Symphony Association, jointly performed classic pieces that blend ethnic charm and international mindset.
The melodious music bridged East and West. XLIS symphony orchestra opened the concert with the elegantly timeless Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower, the profoundly affectionate Korean folk song Arirang, and the lively, festive Western classic Sleigh Ride, weaving together a moving tapestry that transcends regions and eras. Following this, the passionate heroism of The Magnificent Seven, the revisited melody of Jasmine Flower, the stirring fervor of On the Taihang Mountains, and the simple charm of Ningxia Flower Counting resonated with each other, evoking deep cultural echoes and emotional connections. Subsequently, the epic grandeur of the 1812 Overture, the tender whisper of A Lovely Rose, and the heartfelt tribute of The Song in My Heart progressively unfolded, outlining the rich dimensions of musical narrative. Finally, the concert concluded triumphantly amidst the mysterious tension of Night on Bald Mountain and the gentle, profound auditory experience of Concerto of Love. Within the ebb and flow of the symphony, teachers and students profoundly perceived cultural confidence, and within the boundless inclusivity of art, they contemplated the shared emotions and ideals of humanity.
The successful hosting of this concert is a vivid practice and concentrated demonstration of our school’s commitment to the holistic education philosophy. We firmly believe that education is not merely about imparting knowledge but also about awakening the mind and holistically shaping character. We strive to actively construct a growth ecosystem integrating moral education, labor education，aesthetic education，sports education and intellectual education, enabling every student to perceive cultural depth through artistic influence, broaden international horizons through collaboration, and cultivate international sentiments through emotional resonance.
In the future, XLIS will continue to adopt an open and innovative approach, building a broader platform for aesthetic education. We will actively expand strategic partnerships with professional troupes and artistic-cultural institutions, allowing aesthetic education to permeate daily campus life and cultural nourishment to seep into every facet of growth. Our goal is to truly cultivate outstanding talents who are rooted in China, possess a global mindset, and have rich inner lives, enabling them to sound a confident and powerful note for Chinese youth in the new era on the global stage.
