Ningbo to be built as a "music city"

The 3rd Zhejiang Provincial Chorus Festival as well as the 8th Chinese Filial Piety Cultural Festival kicked off on the evening of October 13. It is reported that the national music industrial base will officially settle down in Jiangbei District, and the Ningbo Music Port project is officially launched.

As the highlight of the festival, the chorus contest attracted 54 chorus from 11 cities in the province to compete for the final prize. The music and songs of the contest are all in line with the festival's theme of "singing for filial piety, thinking for the future".

Currently, Ningbo is making efforts to build a "music city", with the Ningbo Music Port as its major part. In early August this year, Jiangbei District signed the cooperation agreement with the Jadebird Cultural Group on co-building the national music industrial base in Ningbo. The two parties will co-build the Ningbo Music Port, a featured block with strong music characteristics integrating the music, tourism and fashion industry. Some other music brand projects, including the national theatre headquarters base, the "tribute ceremony for original music in China", Ningbo Music Park and Chinese Music Industry Exchange, will settle down in Jiangbei District, serving as the important supporting projects for the construction of the music port.

With the settlement of the national music industrial base, the launch of the "star neighborhood" music-theme community at the Wealth Plaza of the Northbank Community, the settlement of Ningbo Symphony Orchestra in Ningbo Grand Theatre and the foundation of the Ningbo Children's Choir, the construction of Ningbo Music Port is smoothly under way.

The music port will not only promote the city's construction of the "cultural capital of east Asia" but also will serve as an important carrier and a new impetus for Jiangbei District's transformation and upgrading. According to the planning, the music port will consist of the core area, the extended area and the development area. The core area includes the Grand Theatre and the surrounding area, the extended area covers the Old Bund, the Sunhu Park and Cicheng Town, while the development area may involve the whole city. In the future, the music cultural industry will be a key part of the construction of the silk road on the sea for jiangbei District. Besides the music industry, the music port will seek for the integration of music and such industries as science and technology, internet and finance
