Suzhou Symphony Orchestra (SZSO) gave a concert at Suzhou Jinji Lake Concert Hall, SIP on Mother’s Day last Sunday, as a special gift to the mothers-to-be in the city.

A group of female SZSO members from home and abroad performed a list of representative classical works by 12 globally renowned composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert.

"We carefully chose the episodes, hoping the music can soothe the mothers and the fetuses," violinist Li Jiaxing said.

The event is also one of SZSO's tries to pique people's interest in classical music and help them better understand it. A concert for fathers for the same purpose is scheduled for Father's Day in June, according to the orchestra's authority.
