On November 2, the 2024 Suzhou "Voice of Dreams" Chorus Exhibition, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, was held at the Enling Arts Center of Suzhou University.

The exhibition was sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Suzhou Municipal CPC Committee, the Suzhou Civilization Office, the Suzhou Education Bureau, the Suzhou Culture, Radio, and Television and Tourism Bureau, the Suzhou Federation of Trade Unions, and the Suzhou Literary and Art Circles Federation, and organized by the Suzhou Musicians Association and the Suzhou University School of Music.

Since its launch in early October, the exhibition attracted nearly 40 local chorus groups from Suzhou to enroll enthusiastically. After intense competition, 25 chorus groups stood out and won the qualification for the final exhibition. The Arts Association Chorus of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University was the only university team in Suzhou to enter the Adult Group A competition.

Nine top chorus experts from across the country, namely Ren Baoping, Meng Dapeng, Yan Baolin, Su Yanhui, Xu Liangliang, Diao Zhijun, Wu Kewei, Hong Chuan, and Wu Hao, provided comprehensive and meticulous guidance to seven local Suzhou chorus groups participating in this exhibition. In the next step, the Suzhou Literary and Art Circles Federation and the Suzhou Musicians Association will combine the pursuit of results with talent cultivation, integrate focus on works with focus on the environment, and strive to enhance the professionalism, popularity, academic nature, and dissemination of the "Voice of Dreams," the most authoritative chorus exhibition and competition in Suzhou, contributing to the high-quality development of Suzhou's literary and artistic undertakings.
