Before the interval: Lv Qiming's Ode to the Red Flag, Jiang Wantong's Capriccio on "Hong Yan", and the Butterfly Lovers violin concerto of He Zhanhao and Chen Gang, with Zhou Ming'en as soloist. After it: the Yao Dance of Liu Tieshan and Mao Yuan, then all four movements of the Yellow River piano concerto, with Yuan Jie as soloist.
