Monk orchestra on the hill.

The Jinghui Guangxuan Symphony Orchestra, the world’s largest orchestra comprised entirely of Chan monks and nuns, is set to deliver a captivating performance that beautifully blends traditional Chinese music with timeless masterpieces by Grieg, Sibelius, and Glinka. This extraordinary event will take place at the Longquan Great Compassion Monastery, Adriaan van Bergenstraat, 18, 3554VE Utrecht..

The Longquan Temple of Great Compassion, located in Utrecht’s Zuilen district, was established in 2015 by Chinese residents and Buddhist nuns. Housed in a former church, the temple’s prayer hall is adorned with thousands of golden Bodhisattva Guanyin statues and features three large Buddha statues, including Buddha Shakyamuni. The hall is filled with the soothing scent of daily offerings of fruit, incense, and flowers, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
