Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra Chorus




Founded in June 2007, the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra Chorus is today led by Artistic Director LIN Daye, with LUO Bin as Chorus Director and LUO Shenka serving as Principal Conductor and Deputy Chorus Director. Its members are graduates of distinguished music institutions at home and abroad, having undergone rigorous vocal training and built substantial stage experience in professional settings.
Since its inception, the Chorus has taken part in a wide array of major engagements, presenting both contemporary Chinese choral works and classic masterpieces. Its Chinese repertoire includes large-scale symphonic choral pieces such as Harmony of the Divine Land, Symphonic Mountain Ballads Hakka Folksongs, Ode to Humanity, Symphony of Generation, Northern Shaanxi Tone Poem, Ode to Goddess Luo, Hero Epic and We Are the River, alongside original compositions by poets and composers from Guangdong and Shenzhen. On the classical side, the Chorus has performed concert versions of Aida and Turandot, as well as Verdi’s Opera Choruses. Its annual New Year’s concert has become a much-anticipated fixture for both the city's choral scene and its broader audience.
From 2020 onward, in response to the growing demands of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra's major presentations, the Chorus underwent a further professional upgrade, becoming more specialised and younger in profile. After years of refinement, its expressive power and communicative depth have continued to grow, along with a remarkable stylistic range. In recent seasons, the Chorus has performed in the orchestra's subscription series concerts such as Homage to Beethoven and a programme devoted to Chinese choral works. It has also appeared in large-scale symphonic choral works including Harmony of the Divine Land, Symphonic Mountain Ballads Hakka Folksongs, Ode to Humanity, Symphony of Generation, Northern Shaanxi Tone Poem, Ode to Goddess Luo, Hero Epic, We Are the River, The Majestic Chapter of Righteousness, Song of the Long March 2020, Ode to Humanity, Northern Shaanxi Tone Poem, Hope; symphonic cycles such as My Motherland, Ode to Heroes, and The Vast Land; the symphonic suite Pearl River, Pearl River; the symphonic poem Chasing the Dream; and the symphonic fantasia The Legacy of Spring and Autumn period - Jianjia·Drumming.
As its reputation has grown, the Chorus has been invited to perform in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Harbin, Guiyang and beyond, sharing the stage with eminent conductors such as David REILAND, ZHANG Guoyong, LIN Daye, TANG Muhai, ZHANG Jiemin, FU Renchang and CHAN Wing-wah. Together they have brought to life enduring masterpieces including Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy and Symphony No. 9, Mahler’s Symphonies No. 2 and No. 3, Carmina Burana, Peer Gynt, and the Yellow River Cantata. The Chorus’s professional calibre and artistic commitment have earned high praise from both critics and audiences alike.
