Step into the vibrant world of music with Jin Chengzhi, the creative force behind the Rainbow Chamber Singers. Born from a student choir in 2010, this dynamic group has blossomed into a nearly 100-member ensemble performing over 150 concerts. 🎶
During a recent Beijing stop, Jin recounted how every performance used to feel like a nerve-wracking exam. "I remember feeling unprepared and nervous," he shared. Today, however, the warm cheers and authentic feedback from the audience have transformed those early jitters into confidence and passion. Each concert now is a celebration of genuine emotion, where every note reflects the journey of growing up and discovering one’s true self.
From early piano lessons at age three to studying at the China Conservatory of Music and Shanghai Conservatory, Jin’s life has been a symphony of transformative experiences. He explains that Rainbow isn’t solely about original works but about singing what truly resonates at every stage of life. Whether it's the upbeat optimism of youth or the reflective tones of maturity, the choir’s repertoire mirrors the evolving views and emotions of its members.
What makes the Rainbow Chamber Singers truly special is their dedication. Even members who consider singing a passionate hobby put in time and heart comparable to full-time performers. With innovative projects like the "Living in Love!" concert series and exciting choral theater productions on the horizon, Jin’s vision continues to bridge tradition with modern flair, encouraging everyone to express their true feelings through music. 🌈
