Local students conduct world leading orchestra
Three students from the Central Conservatory of Music attended a master class led by Principal Guest Conductor Daniel Harding and members of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO). Mr. Harding and the Orchestra were in Beijing on a China tour sponsored by Rolls-Royce plc that included performances in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The three students were selected through an open application process. The participants were:
Luo Zhenhua (23) a junior student of the Central Conservatory of Music. He has been studying conducting for two and a half years, and has given two recitals at the Central Conservatory of Music.
Luo Zhenhua
Zhu Man (25) a post-graduate student of the Central Conservatory of Music. She has been studying conducting for over six years and has conducted over six concerts with several well-known domestic symphony orchestras.
Zhu Man
Jiao Yang (22) a senior student of the Central Conservatory of Music. He is also an award-winning pianist and has been conducting over 4 concerts with several well-known domestic symphony orchestras.

During the master class, the first held internationally by the LSO, students conducted members of the London Symphony Orchestra in one movement of Dvořák's Symphony No. 9. Student participants were then mentored by Mr. Harding and members of the LSO including Gareth Davies (flute), Patrick Harrild (tuba) and Matthew Gibson (double bass).
The master class was part of the LSO's community outreach efforts during the China tour and was conceived and organised in partnership with Rolls-Royce. The programme reflects both the LSO and Rolls-Royce's shared commitment to nurturing young talent and respect for precision, innovation and excellence.
