0 
The NCPA（National Center for the Performing Arts）will launch its "Happy New Year, NCPA Art Tour 2011" for the first time from Feb. 3 to 8.
1. Chamber Concert
Time: 09:30-10:30 / 13:00-14:00
Venue: West Cafe
Chamber music refers to small-scale instrumental music by one or several instruments. It is different from large-scale orchestral music and can also be understood as a cell of the full-length symphonies. It emphasizes communications between the musicians and as well as interaction with the audience. The audience can share the subtle emotional expressions among musicians and also appreciate the mystery of large-scale orchestral instruments through such small instruments.
2. Chinese Shadow Play
Presenter: Beijing Shadow Play Troupe
Time: 14:00-14:30 / 15:30-16:00
Venue: Fifth Space Stage (South Public Hall)
Shadow Play is a traditional Chinese folk art with a history of more than 2,000 years. Known as a precursor of modern cinema, shadow play is a kind of drama in which silhouettes made of hard paper, buffalo and donkey hide are projected onto a white screen. The performer manipulates the characters behind the screen while singing the story. Lu Baogang (intangible cultural heritage inheritor & the 5th generation descendant of Lu Troupe) will perform and demonstrate the charms of shadow play.
3. Peking Opera "Red Cliff"
Time: 10:00-11:00 / 13:30-15:30
Venue: In front of Gate N. T6, Theatre
Under the principle of "respecting for tradition and making innovation," the Peking Opera "Red Cliff" retells the story of the "Three Kingdoms" on a grand stage, which tends to attract a younger audience that appreciates and savors the quintessence of Chinese culture.
