This year is the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Switzerland.
To commemorate this important milestone in the history of bilateral relations, Sinfonie-orchester Basel, one of the oldest and three most important orchestras in Switzerland, was invited to visit China for the third time.
The orchestra opened in Beijing to a classical music audience on March 23 and will perform in Shanghai on March 25 under the baton of chief conductor Dennis Russell Davis.
