The Xi'an Symphony Orchestra (XSO) on Saturday evening broadcast an online concert from the Shaanxi History Museum in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province.

From Bela Kovacs' Hommages to Chopin's Nocturne, the 60-minute When the Museum Meets XSO concert was viewed by tens of thousands of viewers via Chinese livestreaming platforms including Bilibili and Youku.

During the concert, a live show of the top collections of the museum added to the sense of history.

"Both cultural relics and music are cultural wealth that transcend time and space," said Hou Ningbin, curator of the museum. 

"By staging such a concert, we pay homage to brilliant human culture by blending tradition with modernity, and the East with the West," Hou explained.

In the coming month, XSO will give live performances at other famed cultural and historical landmarks including the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum famous for the Terracotta Warriors, according to a statement from XSO.
