In 2014, Darvel moved to Havana and started working with “Suena Cubano”, a pop band that would later allow him the opportunity to travel internationally.

This concert is an award for Tchaikovsky's works. Tchaikovsky, as an influential composer in the 19th century, is a representative of the romantic period of classical music. His works are called "Soul of Russia", the musical tone is based on the breath of life and folk characteristics, which is a true portrayal of society.

The emotions flowing out of his works are sometimes enthusiastic and unrestrained, and sometimes delicate and tactful. The movement is lyrical and gorgeous, with a strong orchestral style.

Our music club gathers a group of friends who love music; for each of us, music has already become an inseparable part of life. However, there is one group that is not born with the ability to perceive music, and that is the hearing-impaired group. Therefore, we specially planned this public welfare concert, hoping to gather everyone's strength and do our best to help this group that has the same boundless love for music as we do.

In this 2-hour concert, we have prepared 22 songs with a focus on pop rock. The audience will be immersed in the contradictory stream of consciousness of Bohemian Rhapsody, will be ignited by the Mohe Ballroom, will be cleared of confusion in Counting Stars... Especially special, after several weeks of hard work, we have specially designed for the hearing impaired. The children have created an original song, and they will also participate in the performance of the song in a very special way…
