"This concert is a very special annual event for our audiences and has become a marvelous musical celebration for Chinese New Year at Symphony Center," he said.

The show is just one of many Chinese New Year celebration activities launched in the city of Chicago.

In the coming two weeks, the Art Institute of Chicago will co-work with the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Shanghai Museum to open an exhibition named "Mirroring China's Past: Emperors and their Bronzes."

A Chinese Arts and Culture Documentary Film Festival will be held at the Chicago Culture Center and the Chinatown in Chicago will hold a Chinese Lunar New Year Parade.

Chicago Bulls will for the first time present Chinese dragon and lion dances during their home game with Philadelphia 76ers.

Chicago is the first city in the United States to launch Chinese New Year celebrations in the name of a municipal government, and 2018 will be the fifth year for the city to mark the Chinese New Year.
