In 1824, Beethoven inserted Schiller's poem "Ode to Joy" into the fourth movement of the symphony, bringing a choir and soloists onto the symphonic stage for the first time. Everyone thought he was mad. But without advances in brass valve technology, the expansion of public concert halls, or the idea of "human unity" brought by the French Revolution, this work could never have been born. On July 26, the National Centre for the Performing Arts' "Strolling Through Classics" closing concert – Yang Yang conducts the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, joined by the China National Opera House Chorus, presenting Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 "Choral." d minor, Op. 125, approx. 70 minutes, four movements, including vocal chorus **Guide for This Session** Curator Wang Jiangtao ▎Education and Professional Background International MBA from Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, visiting scholar at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. ▎Cross-Disciplinary: Using Music to Teach Management With 12 years of deep involvement in music technology and music education, he has co-authored several monographs, including *Teaching Methods for Zhongyin Electronic Keyboard Group Classes*, *Complete DIY Manual for Computer Music*, and *MIDI Orchestration Techniques*.

"Good audio is not just equipment; it is a medium for conveying emotion. Everyone who comes here is a friend. We share not only audio but also our love for life and music."

They practice every day, but few tell them what "good sound" is. If a child learning an instrument has never heard the real sound of a world-class orchestra, how can they know what tone they should strive for? The DIBEISI Youth Symphony Listening Program uses the lowest cost and the highest sound standards to let young people hear music from the world's top orchestras and musicians. The DIBEISI Beijing Audio Hall has five showrooms, equipped with various Hi-Fi systems ranging from tens of thousands to 1.68 million yuan. It is open every Sunday from 15:00 to 17:00, with guided listening sessions led by a specialist. **DIBEISI** **DIBEISI Youth Symphony Listening Program · Public Welfare Project**
