　　 German cellist Jan Vogler vividly remembers his debut performance at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing in March 2023. He was thrilled to be one of the first foreign musicians to perform at the venue after the pandemic. During his recital, which lasted three hours, Vogler presented Bach's six complete cello suites.

　　Two years later, Vogler is returning to the NCPA, but this time, he will perform with Chinese musicians during the upcoming NCPA May Festival. The annual event, which shines a spotlight on the beauty and diversity of chamber music, began in 2009.

　　This year's festival, which takes place from May 1 to 25, includes 25 concerts by musicians from all over the world.
