白日依山尽，
黄河入海流。
欲穷千里目，
更上一层楼。
The sun sinks behind the mountains,
The Yellow River seaward flows.
To see a thousand miles in the distance,
Up another flight one goes.

The concert "Echoes of Ancient Tang Poems" was jointly performed by iSING! Suzhou and the Philadelphia Orchestra, which premiered in Philadelphia on Jan 6 and was held in New York on Jan 7. Fifteen singers from 10 countries led by Liao Guomin, a conductor from Macau, interpreted newly composed songs based on well-known poems from the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
