下午2点,“新春音乐会”在拉脱维亚武术协会带来的武术表演中拉开帷幕;里加34中学的《新年好》《恭喜恭喜》《泥娃娃》《自己》,叶尔加瓦第2中学的《富贵花开迎新年》,里加文化中学的吉他弹唱《朋友》,利耶帕亚大学的《龙文》等一首首耳熟能详的歌曲为全场观众送去了浓浓的新春祝福;里加88中学、“飞笔中国画工作室”、拉脱维亚大学将快板儿表演、现场作画和中国舞等三种艺术形式完美融合,向观众展示了一场优美的视听盛宴;拉脱维亚华联会的古筝独奏《渔舟唱晚》、华人合唱队“心乐”的一中一拉两首歌曲诉说着中拉友谊的源远流长;天津卫视著名主持人安泽,一支水袖舞翩若惊鸿,婉若游龙;拉脱维亚大学孔子学院、叶尔加瓦斯比杜拉中学、文茨皮尔斯大学、里加文化中学和里加Anninmuizas中学则结合传统元素与现代元素,在此起彼伏的歌声中展示了舞蹈形式里跨越时空的对话;此外,现场一次次的抽奖环节则将活动推向了高潮;最后活动在交通与电信大学带来的合唱《那些花儿》中落下帷幕。

“新春庆典”活动是中拉两国人民的大联欢,今年通过“新春文化体验”与“新春音乐会”相结合的形式既让参与者们感受到了中国新年的节日氛围和中国深厚的文化底蕴,更是拉近了中拉两国人民的距离,加深了两国人民的友谊。
