Distinguished Guests and Friends of Chinese Music, Today is a truly special occasion. We are celebrating not only the 20th anniversary of the WA Chung Wah Chinese Orchestra’s remarkable journey but also the 5th anniversary of the WA Chinese Guzheng Festival - WA Festival of Chinese Music. At this significant moment, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the friends, musicians, and team members who have supported us over the years.

Twenty years ago, Mr. Zhi Chen founded the Chung Wah Chinese Orchestra. For two decades, the orchestra has embraced its mission to "Broadening cultural exchange and Preserving musical heritage". Along the way, we have witnessed the flourishing of Chinese music. Each participant’s dedication and perseverance have been crucial in helping us reach this milestone.

As the founder of the WA Chinese Guzheng Festival, I am deeply gratified to see the thriving growth of this beautiful instrument in our community. The contributions of Ms. Huang Zirui and Ms. Chen Xueyan have been invaluable, along with the later involvement of other Guzheng teachers, all of whom have played an essential role. Over the past five years, the Guzheng Festival has become more than just a platform for music lovers—it has built a cultural bridge, strengthening the bonds of friendship and artistic exchange between China and Australia.

As we reflect on the past, we are filled with gratitude. As we look toward the future, we are filled with hope. In the coming years, both the Chung Wah Chinese Orchestra and the Guzheng Festival will continue to deliver enriching musical and cultural experiences to our audiences. Together, let us witness many more extraordinary moments. 尊敬的各位来宾、中乐朋友们， 今天是一个特别的日子，我们不仅迎来了西澳中华华乐团二十周年的辉煌时刻，同时也庆祝西 澳中国音乐节-西澳中国古筝节五周年的盛典。在这个重要的时刻，我想对所有支持我们多年的 朋友、音乐家和工作团队表示由衷的感谢。 二十年前，陈志老师创辨了中华华乐团。二十年来，华乐团始终秉承着《扩展西澳文化交流 延 续华族音乐精髓》的使命。一路走来，我们见证了华乐的传播与发展。每一位参与者的努力与 坚持都是我们走到今天的重要力量。 同时，作为西澳中国古筝节的创办人，我为古筝这一美妙的乐器在本地的蓬勃发展感到无比欣 慰。黄孜蕊老师和陈雪艳老师的贡献尤为重要，后来加入的其他古筝老师们也功不可没。在过 去五年中，古筝节不仅成为音乐爱好者交流的舞台，更搭建了一座文化桥梁，连接了中澳两国 的友谊与艺术互动。 回首过去，我们满怀感激；展望未来，我们充满希望。在未来的岁月里，中华华乐团和古筝节 将继续为观众带来更多精彩的音乐与文化体验，愿我们共同见证更多美好的时刻！
