今天我們要講述的故事是柏林愛樂樂團在演出前一天訪問北京當地的一所中學。而著名藝術家德米特里•肖斯塔科維奇為學生們演奏第五交響曲并言傳身教指導學生們。

Inspiring to children is the Berlin Philharmonic's run in Beijing which ended on Sunday. Our story today is about their visit to a local middle school in Beijing just a day before their show. Hearing the students were busily rehearsing for Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, some of the principle artists dropped by to give their advice.
Little musicians at Beijing’s No. 8 Middle School got a real and rare treat recently.
A chance to play and talk with some of the world’s greatest musicians.
Principle trombonist Christhard Gossling not only gave advice, but a taste of his talents to boot.
Liu Xiaodan, musician of Beijing No. 8 Middle School Orchestra said, "They not only showed us how to improve our skills, but also how to feel the music emotionally. This helps us seize the music’s spirit."
Although the students’ skills have a long way to improve, their passion impressed the artists from Berlin.
Alessandro Cappone, principle violinist of Berlin Philparmonic said, "Great playing. And go on like this and enjoy... You will always find friends to play together and you have fun. This is the most important thing."
It remains to be seen how many of these young pupils will go on to musical stardom. But it seems Mr. Cappone’s advice is good. At the end of the day, there’s always fun and friendship to be had in the music.
