Conversation & Connection
There is a kind of encounter called “bosom friend”.
When the deep, resonant tones of the morin khuur intertwine with the clear, pure sounds of Nordic strings on the same stage; when the suona of northern Shaanxi echoes with Swedish improvisational percussion; when traditional Chinese attire and Nordic charm shine side by side under the same beam of light — this is how art meets, transcending language and borders.
🎭 Conversation & Connection China-Sweden Song & Dance Gala
📅 June 8, 2026, 18:00
📍 Vasa Theatre, Stockholm
Highlights
The sonorous suona and the earthy Shaanxi folk songs will unfold before you a beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between China’s diverse ethnic cultures and Swedish artistic traditions. 
The Language of Music
When the morin khuur, khoomei (Mongolian throat singing), and bowl dance are performed together, you will feel the vastness and vitality of the grasslands; when the morin khuur meets the violin and piano, the warmth of the East and the elegance of the West blend in perfect harmony within the same melody. When beloved classics from China and Sweden resound, beautiful music builds a bridge of friendship in the hearts of audiences from both nations.
Wings of Song
The aria of the Chinese princess from the opera Turandot, the contemporary renditions of traditional Chinese Peking opera, and newly arranged interpretations of Swedish folk songs — Chinese and Swedish singers, transcending language barriers and using song as a medium, perform these moving stories.
Dancing Shadows of the Silk Road
The Loulan maidens along the Silk Road and the agile warriors — the multi-ethnic art of the Silk Road is vividly embodied through the medium of dance, telling the legends and power of the ancient Silk Road. 
Dialogue and understanding, encounter and connection. In 2026, China Cultural Center in Stockholm celebrates its 10th anniversary.
