About 1,000 students and teachers from six universities (大学) across Beijing have been given the
chance to see the world famous New York Philharmonic perform (演出) on its first visit to the city in
156 years.
        In early June, students from Beijing University, China Institute (学院) of Music and other four
universities were invited by Citibank (花旗银行) to take part in an educational test to win tickets-given
by the US banking company - to see one of the world's oldest and greatest orchestras (管弦乐队).
       The first 1,000 students who had correct answers to the five test questions won an entrance ticket
to the Beijing performance.
       "Citibank has a strong heritage (传统) in the educational course," said William, the bank's Beijing
manager. "We have made these tickets able to be used as part of our support (支持) of the New York
Philharmonic's tour to Beijing, so that students may have the chance to experience the music of this most
important and successful orchestra." The New York Philharmonic is going to give two performances in
Beijing on June 23 at the 21st Century Theatre and on June 24 at the Great Hall of the People.
