With a project titled Master & Youth, Beijing TUS Music Culture & Media Company is helping to select and train young Chinese students with classical music talents.

Introducing concerts and classical musicians to middle- and high-school students, the project was launched on June 10 with a concert held at Beijing's No 35 Middle School.

Established Chinese conductor Tang Muhai led hundreds of students in performances including Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (Spring), a serenade by Mozart and a couple of pieces by Chinese composers.

According to the organizer, more concerts will be held this year and in cities including Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Nanjing.

The company also plans to found an orchestra and a chorus by selecting talented young Chinese classical musicians from these concerts.
