As one of the most famous island nations in the world, the UK was held in the Atlantic\u2019s clutches. The humid, salty breeze blew across the vast ocean, bringing the heat of summer to Wei Ai\u2019s British concert.\u00a0<\/p>

Just because they accepted the British royal family\u2019s invitation didn\u2019t mean they would play only for the British royal family.\u00a0<\/p>

During the tour from the first half of the year, Wei Ai hadn’t performed in London and instead went to Manchester. So now, when the top orchestra returned to London, the city\u2019s classical fans immediately flocked to them. Within two days, the concert tickets were sold out.\u00a0<\/p>

Even the scorching heat couldn\u2019t deter them. During Wei Ai\u2019s summer concert, they played a passionate \u300aChaldas Dance\u300b, a warm \u300aPastoral Symphony\u300b, plus, the love of the Viennese, \u300aRadsky March\u300b. The concert ended successfully with long, warm applause.\u00a0<\/p>

This was the first time Qi Mu had led the orchestra during a formal performance since he became Wei Ai\u2019s concertmaster. Without the slightest tension, this high-level concert gave the Londoners a thorough understanding of the brand-new Wei Ai. They truly understood why the young man had been described as \u201chope\u201d by major newspapers and magazines.\u00a0<\/p>

Only by hearing it with their own ears could they understand what bright hope it was!<\/p>

Under this excellent concertmaster\u2019s leadership, through his own vitality, he set off a wave of passion which overtook Wei Ai!<\/p>

Grant, the national treasure music critic in Belgium wrote such an evaluation: \u201cFor a long time, I have always believed that Wei Ai was a traditional symphony orchestra. Their timbre was round and delicate, just like their favorite waltz, gentle and smooth, but not full of passion and ambition to pierce the sky like a storm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThis is a trait formed by accumulation over hundreds of years, but it is also the prison that restricts their development. How could a world-class orchestra innovate? I think, first of all, they have to break themselves first, and a concertmaster who is still in the plastic period is precisely the hope they are longing for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0\u300aThe Voice of Love and Hope Ignites London Summer Night!\u300b<\/p>

\u00a0\u300aLet Radsky\u2019s March Become a Resounding Success in London!\u300b<\/p>

\u300aWei Ai Re-Enters London, Perfectly Interpreting the World\u2019s Top Orchestra Sound\u300b, \u300aClassical Sound\u300b, \u300aMusic\u300b,\u00a0 \u300aThe Melody of Sound\u300b… Even the oldest classical music magazine in the UK, \u201cThe Bell\u201d, reported on the concert from all angles. Professional comments and major music critic reviews became a grand scene after Wei Ai\u2019s concert.\u00a0<\/p>

Rhe UK\u2019s most well-known newspaper, \u201cThe Times\u201d, put such a headline on its front page: \u300aRoyal Family Invites Wei Ai to Perform, Grand Occasion is Ahead of Schedule\u300b<\/p>

\u2026\u2026<\/p>

No matter how many comments they received, this was already normal for a top-class orchestra. They didn\u2019t have much time to delay in London, and the day after the concert ended, Wei Ai\u2019s members took a plane and left for the other side of the ocean.\u00a0<\/p>

When Qi Mu left London, the whole northern hemisphere had officially entered the heat of summer. The blue Atlantic reflected bright light across the waves. Soon, the plane touched down in Chicago.<\/p>

In the next month or so Wei Ai had a total of three performances in the United States: The special Chicago Carnival Music Festival, The friendly New Anniversary concert, and the finale of the Washington Memorial Gala.\u00a0<\/p>

Compared with Europe\u2019s rich history of classical music, the United States, which had only been established for around 200 years, seemed to be a newborn. However, the development of classical music here was no worse than in its birthplace in Europe.\u00a0<\/p>

On this land stood the world-famous Boston Symphony Hall, New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall, and New York\u2019s Metropolitan Opera. Top world-class orchestras called this place home, such as the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, and the Philadelphia Orchestra.\u00a0<\/p>

Even the American classical music fans\u2019 enthusiasm was on par with Europe\u2019s. Qi Mu had felt the strong musical atmosphere at the Chicago Music Festival. The arrival of Wei Ai made the grand festival even more lively. Thousands of Wei Ai\u2019s fans from all over the country came to participate in their concerts.\u00a0<\/p>

When Qi Mu and Wei Ai\u2019s members finished their performances in Chicago and arrived in New York, he was shocked by an oncoming heat wave as soon as he stepped off the plane. Three days later, the fans\u2019 enthusiasm made him even more powerless.\u00a0<\/p>

With three days before the performance, the crazy and excited fans had already arrived in New York. Any music fan who truly loved classical music, even if they were normally calm and composed, would be ecstatic when they heard New Ai\u2019s concert. They would always try their best to attend!<\/p>

Founded in 1842, the New York Philharmonic orchestra had a history of nearly 200 years. Those years brought the orchestra a more stable musical style, but also a more delicate and gentle timbre. In more than 100 years, the orchestra had performed more than 14,000 times, creating the best of all orchestras.\u00a0<\/p>

If the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was the pride of all Austrians, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra was the well deserved king in the hearts of all Americans. And now, these two orchestras could play together on the same stage?<\/p>

God, this kind of collision between the strong and powerful is simply strange!<\/p>

Unless Bai Ai and Wei Ai performed on the same stage one day, there would never be a concert in the world that could surpass the lineup of this concert.\u00a0<\/p>

As soon as they arrived in New York, Wei Ai\u2019s members checked into a pre-booked hotel under Tuckerman\u2019s arrangement. As the evening approached, Qi Mu accompanied Dorenza, Tuckerman, and Molt, the orchestra\u2019s second conductor, to New Ai\u2019s headquarters to discuss some details of the concert in the future.\u00a0<\/p>

Row upon row of skyscrapers, bustling streets and squats, and Qi Mu sat in the back seat of the car with an unobstructed view of the super metropolis. After arriving at the headquarters, Qi Mu humbly followed Dorenza and communicated with him with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>

The four of them had just stepped into the door and hadn\u2019t taken more than a few steps when Qi Mu saw a familiar figure leave the elevator. The bearded face was covered with an excited smile. When he came up, he gave Droenza a big hug, then greeted Tuckerman and Motl, until finally his gaze rested on the young man at their side.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cOh, my dear Little Seven, it seems that we haven\u2019t seen each other since we parted in Paris.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu stretched out his arms to receive the man\u2019s warm hug. He smiled and nodded, \u201cYes, Mr. Hooke, it\u2019s been more than a year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Hooke was New Ai\u2019s violin concertmaster.\u00a0<\/p>

Listening to Qi Mu\u2019s words, Hooke pretended to frown and said, \u201cLittle Seven, I\u2019m only ten years older than you, yet you insist on calling me Mr. Hooke. Am I really so old?\u201d As he spoke, he pouted deliberately.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu looked at him earnestly, wanting to say, \u201cIn fact, you are very young,\u201d but when he saw the thick beard, even if he wanted to hold back his smile, Qi Mu couldn’t help laughing.\u00a0<\/p>

Hooke\u2019s eyes immediately widened, \u201cWhen did I become so old!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Tuckerman immediately rounded up his Little Seven. \u201cWell, Hooke, when are you going to trim your beard? You\u2019d definitely look ten years younger!Oh, wait a minute, wouldn\u2019t you be as old as Little Seven if you looked ten years younger? Well, then you should probably be one year younger.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Hooke, who was only 33 but was particularly mature: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After several people followed Hook to the elevator, he explained, \u201cMr. Boswell is still in a meeting. We scheduled the repertoire two months ago, but there\u2019s been heavy rain in Utah and a terrible flash flood. Mr. Boswell is a Utah native and he wants to pay homage to it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

This summer seemed to be extraordinarily hot, but in June, the United States metropolis was like a large stove. The air was scorching and the heat was unbearable.\u00a0<\/p>

Wei Ai had arrived in Chicago a week earlier, so they knew about the torrential rain. Now, hearing what Hooke said, Qi Mu remembered that Mr. Boswell was known as the \u201cbest-tempered conductor in the world\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>

Music had the magical power of conveying hope and strengthening its listeners. When anyone was in a low mood, just listening to a euphemistic waltz would help regain their confidence. When they encountered difficulties, an uplifting march would make them feel motivated again.\u00a0<\/p>

Sadness was contagious, but it was more valuable to share support and encouragement.\u00a0<\/p>

Dorenza nodded and whispered, \u201cMr. Boswell has an excellent idea. I also think it\u2019s a good suggestion to play a song specifically for the people of Utah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Hooke also agreed. \u201cYes, in fact, everyone in the orchestra agrees with Mr. Boswell. And, Mr. Dorenza, you know, Mr. Boswell has a good temper. He made such a gentle proposal. I don\u2019t think anyone in the world would have the heart to oppose it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

It was strange to hear such words from the mouth of a bearded man, but Qi Mu replied with a deep feeling, \u201cYes, if Mr. Boswell put forward such a proposal. It\u2019s hard to refuse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cBut it\u2019s the difficulty of the piece that calls it into question.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Hearing this, Qi Mu asked curiously, \u201cWhat piece did you choose?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Hooke paused before replying, \u201cIt\u2019s Dvorak\u2019s \u300aSymphony No. 9 in E Minor\u300b.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
