Classical route to success
Besides classical music, Kuke Music offers a selection of classic jazz, blues and folk music.
It has been adding recordings by collecting and releasing music of China's ethnic groups and music by Chinese composers.
The company is also expanding its horizons with the latest technology in the research of musical instruments and music education.
During the gala, Yu He unveiled the company's new product, the Smart Guzheng, which combines artificial intelligence with the guzheng, a Chinese zither with a 2,500-year history.
The new instrument can help correct and guide beginners.
Looking to the future, Yu says: "I don't know if I could call Kuke Music a success. But if we have another 10 years, there's so much we could do with music and technology."
