Lovers of Chinese classical music will be able to enjoy a wide variety of works never available online before thanks to an agreement signed on Monday between Baidu music and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music that aims to promote works created by the academy.
The agreement will see the conservatory digitize a substantial collection of the works in its library, which will be published online by Baidu from September. Baidu users will be able to access the content for free.
Although many of the works have previously been released, they have not been made available online, according to Wang Lei, the general manager of Baidu Music. The agreement will see works created at the Shanghai conservatory over more than 90 years being made available to the public.
