On the very next day after the quartet concert concluded.
Throughout Tian Chao, almost all music media, large and small, reported on this concert.
The most surprising thing was not the sheer number of media reports.
But in these reports, this concert was imbued with various significant meanings.
[The First Fusion of Tian Chao’s Pop and Classical Music!]
[A Historic Concert!]
[What’s Important Isn’t the Music, It’s the Performance!]
[The New Replacing the Old! All Music Has Its Beauty!]
Not only the music world, but all the cultural and arts sectors were praising the value of this concert!
From the cello, to all of Tian Chao’s music, and from music, to the entire arts scene of China...
Yu Haoming, a renowned music critic, stated:
"This concert is essentially an artistic renaissance initiated by Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu. In the current complete restructuring of the music world, they used this concert to remind people of the irreplaceable place of classical music in the musical realm!"
Renowned musician and pianist Wu Feixuan commented:
"Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a moving concert. This concert not only revealed to us a way for pop and classical music to coexist peacefully in the new era, but it also taught us a lesson—
Classical music may indeed vanish from Tian Chao with the total reform of the competition system, but it will certainly reappear in other forms!
Because people need classical music, music that can encapsulate extreme emotions and deep friendships. And it must be classical music!"
-- Classical music won’t disappear; it will only reappear in other forms.
As soon as these words came out,
they quickly dominated the mainstream public opinion shortly after the concert ended.
At the same time, Zhang Dong also elaborated on this through his Bilibili post:
The piece ’Zhao Zilong’ composed by the famous local Chinese musician Lin Tian for this concert contains some classical elements, yet is entirely pop music.
But it’s this pop music.
In this ensemble concert, it allowed the four musicians to express such profound emotions.
The performance techniques and music styles displayed were almost as if they were playing classical music.
This precisely proves that sentence.
Classical music will not disappear.
It is an inseparable part of music history!
This is the most precious wealth this concert has left for everyone!!"
After Zhang Dong said these words.
many insiders, including Zhang Dong, also recognized.
It is precisely because of the success of this concert that it has been given so much value and significance.
If the quartet had failed.
The probability would be:
[Classical and Pop Music—Such a Contradictory and Irreconcilable Type, Do Not Confuse Them!]
[The Failure of the Quartet Concert Reflects the Present True Relationship Between Classical and Pop Music!]
It is because it succeeded that there is so much meaning.
The meaning wasn’t given by the concert itself.
But by the outstanding musicians Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu, Bai Junze, and Mao Weiang!
It is they who created this epoch-making grand concert!
When Lin Tian checked his phone after He Zhichen’s reminder.
Unlike any previous instance where fan-driven online popularity was due to an outstanding performance.
This time, the performance has stirred reactions beyond just the general public.
Not only causing massive waves in the music world.
Various major official media also joined in!
[Qingjiang News][Beijing Daily][Hanjiang Observation] and so on.
Several media outlets reported today on the open-air concert held at Beijing Fish Square, though their scripts, being from non-specialists, were relatively restrained.
Similar to the CCTV report when the 2018 IG team won the world championship.
They only objectively and simply depicted from an official standpoint how this concert by well-known musicians from two circles received so much attention.
However, the fewer the words, the more serious the script.
The more fans realize the value of these reports!
And among them, the most heavyweight.
Still, as the central media [Huaxia Daily], forwarded a video at 8 am today.
In this Weibo post, Huaxia endorsed a live recorded video of the concert scene, followed by the caption:
[Classical music is a shared cultural treasure of world music history. It will not be buried nor will it disappear.]
[Huaxia Daily] posted another Weibo.

They interviewed experts, connected with the public, delving into the history of Tian Chao’s music and reform matters, and as a result, published a special report.
In the report—directly pointing out issues of unequal treatment toward classical music in current music competitions!
The last Weibo had only been an hour ago, and an article came out so quickly.
Clearly, this too was already in draft for a long time before its release.
The publication of this article quickly resonated with numerous netizens!
