The Department of Music and the Institute of Chinese Studies co-organised another series of three lunchtime concerts, entitled 'Boulevard Echoes', which were held between February and April. The concerts featured a selection of classical pieces, including Xi yang yang喜洋洋, Feng yang fa gu 鳳陽花鼓 and Bu bu gao步步高 for the full ensemble and for smaller combinations.

Various instruments were used for the performances included bowed string (e.g., Gaohu, Zhonghu and Erhu) , plucked string (e.g., Pipa, Zhongruan, Sanxiau, Guzheng, Yangqin and Liuqin) , wind (e.g., Dizi, Sheng and Xiao) and Chinese percussion instruments.
