Jianli Percussion Ensemble was founded in 2000 and consists of the most excellent young percussionists in contemporary China. They all come from renowned professional art groups and higher learning institutions in China and even the world. They are percussion professors at music colleges and talented students. Eighteen years ago, they came together with their passion and pursuit of percussion art. They are passionate and flamboyant, with strong professional abilities and a wide repertoire of performances. The ensemble's playing style is innovative, and the repertoire is appreciated by both the elite and the general public. With the purpose of promoting traditional Chinese music culture and systematically introducing Western percussion, they have performed and adapted many percussion pieces, which have been deeply recognized and praised by audiences.

Among them, there are hundreds of traditional Chinese and foreign percussion instruments, as well as the latest symbols of percussion with special impressions. With such a rich variety of instruments and unique creativity, the performance programs of the orchestra are extremely colorful, and there are also many folk songs closely related to daily life, so the whole program is colorful, and the stage is integrated with the audience, and the live effect is extremely warm.
Wonderful moments
List of songs
Jianli Percussion Ensemble is highly skilled in percussion. They have strong professional abilities, a wide repertoire of performances, and a novel and unique style of orchestral performance, with repertoire that appeals to both the elite and the general public. Among the repertoire of this concert, there are not only classic pieces paying homage to the classics, but also fresh pieces that have premiered in China for the first time. There are both modern music with strong rhythm and profound classical music. I believe that this extremely creative orchestra will surely ignite the passion of the audience on the spot.
1
Mozart's 40th Symphony
This piece adapts Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 into a Latin American-style percussion work. Driven by the sound of timbales, a percussion instrument characteristic of Latin music, dozens of instruments create a celestial soundscape. Its rhythmic energy fills the audience, who sway with the beat as performers and listeners become one, culminating in the performance’s high point.
2
《Meditation No.1》
The work created by Casey Cangelosi, a famous American composer and percussionist, for the solo of Snare Drum in 2011, this unique solo uses a variety of contemporary Snare Drum playing techniques to present a fascinating new solo piece. It explores some sounds and techniques that are not commonly used in this musical genre. For example, frequently using drumsticks to hit the edges of the drums, the mutual hitting between drumsticks, and finger hitting the drum surface to pursue changes in tone.

Alice
This piece has a similar effect to the percussion ensemble’s arrangement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40. Accompanied by the sound of timbales, a Latin music percussion instrument, audience members and performers sway and hum together.
4
"Free Tango"
This work was created by Argentine composer and accordion virtuoso Piazzolla. Based on his comprehensive and systematic classical music training, he creatively integrated the compositional styles of traditional classical music and jazz, elevating tango music from popular dance accompaniment music to a highly artistic pure musical form that can be displayed independently on stage and express profound philosophical ideas. He thus founded the "Tango Nuevo" music school, becoming one of the representative figures of Argentine culture and an important figure in the history of South American music. In Argentina, Piazzolla is revered as the "Father of Tango" and the "National Treasure of Argentina". Free Tango is one of his most famous works.

《Tico-Tico》
"Tico-Tico" is a shoró music composed by Brazilian composer Zezé Abrunha. The Portuguese word "crying" literally means "to cry". Because the original style was relatively low, sad and sentimental, but later it gradually developed into a joyful and cheerful style. When playing, everyone can feel the high emotions of the dancers, and their dance steps gradually become enthusiastic and chaotic, like birds foraging on corn! Therefore, this song was named "Tico-Tico No Farelo", and later renamed "Tico-Tico No Fuba", which is loved by the Brazilian people. Please release your enthusiasm and dance happily with us.

"Seven Heroes and Outlaws"
"Seven Heroes and Outlaws" is the theme music written by the famous American composer Bernstein for the film "Seven Heroes and Outlaws". This piece has been adapted into a percussion ensemble format, with its majestic and energetic performance style reproducing the classic artistic theme of the film score. It allows the audience to appreciate the auditory artistic image of the film's visual symphony from the refreshing percussion performance. Especially the passionate fighting spirit and resolute righteousness in the music, which inspire people to be invigorated, invigorated, and full of passion and strength. It has created a unique artistic performance form for the audience.
7
《Attraction》
It is a work created by the famous French composer Emmanuel Séjourné, which gives rich romantic colors to French music. The style is melodious and has a strong sense of rhythm. The perfect interpretation of Marimba with electronic music fully shows the unique style of the piece. This performance is the premiere of this piece in China. I believe that this piece, which perfectly combines Western classical music and popular elements, must be extremely shocking.

"Time Travel Back Seventy Years"
Created by John Barry, one of the most representative master-level film composers of the contemporary era, "Time Travel 70 Years Back" is adapted from the novel "Bid Time Return" published in 1976 by the great American writer Richard Matheson. The film's soundtrack is extremely elegant, nostalgic and sad. The theme music melody eventually became a classic like this film.

"Grilled Skewers"
"Happy Sheep" + "Love" + "Chrysanthemum Pavilion"
10
"Horse Knife Dance"
Khachaturian, a composer of the former Soviet Union. "The Dance of the Sword" is Khachaturian's most representative work. It is a dance piece from the ballet "Gayana". It is a battle dance piece depicting the Kurt people before their expedition. The Dance of the Sword means "happiness". This is an orchestral piece, which is now adapted into a percussion ensemble form.
