The concert, featuring classic Chinese songs, such as The Yellow River Cantata, Sing A Song for the Party and Ode to the Red Flag, celebrates the 100th birthday of the Communist Party of China. It also closed the monthlong online music educational program, which involves telling the history of the CPC through works of music. On June 30, the concert will be streamed online.

Since May 23, over 11 Chinese universities have joined in the online event with about 300 performances streamed online, attracting over 200 million views.
