The orchestra played Lu Qiming's "Ode to the Red Flag," Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance," and Offenbach's "Can-Can." Liu Wenwen, a young suona performer, performed "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" with the sounds of the double-reed echoing through the departure hall.

Conductor Zhang Liang said the ensemble perform classical music in cafes, cruise ships, and public transit hubs to better connect with the public.
