Welcome, dear listeners and visitors!
The European Tian Guo Marching Band is truly unique – it brings together musicians from more than ten European countries and from many different walks of life. Along with their love of music, all of its members are united by their practice of Falun Dafa (for more information, please visit https://en.falundafa.org).
The principles of Falun Dafa – Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance – are universal in nature, and it is therefore altogether fitting that the Chinese name Tian Guo (meaning 'celestial') should be reminiscent of heaven. Music crosses borders and unites people and cultures. The members of Tian Guo Marching Band wish to bring joy to their audiences through their music. The repertoire includes classical original compositions such as "Falun Dafa hao" ("Falun Dafa is good"), "Song Bao" ("Bring a treasure"), "King of Falun" ("The king of turning Falun") and "Sacred Song" ("Holy Song").
The majority of the members of the European Tian Guo Marching Band are of Chinese descent. At present, around 100 members between 9 and 73 years of age play in the band. The European Tian Guo Marching Band participates in cultural parades and events in European cities such as London, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Warsaw and Berlin. With its performances, the band also draws attention to the persecution of Falun Dafa in China. Further information can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Falun_Gong.
