The second concert, themed "East Meets West, Masters' Night", takes place on Sunday evening, featuring collaborations between Alsop and world-renowned pipa player Wu Man on innovative pieces such as the Leonora Overture No 3, Concerto for Pipa and Orchestra No 2, and Symphony No 7 in A major.

Matías Tarnopolsky, president and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra, described the visit as a "history-making" in the orchestra's history, facilitated by the Hainan government's invitation. He emphasized the unifying power of music, noting its ability to bring people together and serve as an equalizing force in the world.

Tarnopolsky highlighted the orchestra's commitment to specially selecting music for their performances in China, including engaging in activities at Hainan University and Wormhole Library to interact directly with music students and the Haikou community.
