2023年8月，北京天鼓之音联合中国爱乐乐团推出的交响乐《空海》于中国兰州、日本京都和东京巡演，获得新华社、人民网、搜狐网及日本电视台广泛报导。
空海是日本平安时代的佛教高僧，曾舍身渡海跟随中国唐代佛教真言宗七祖、三朝国师惠果阿阇黎学习，随后归国弘化、广利有情，并将唐代先进的文化、教育、技术等带回日本，被誉为日本文化的奠基人。
超大规模团队，两国三地巡演，通过交响乐与合唱的形式，再现了空海波澜壮阔的生平事迹和中日两国绵延千载的文化交流。



In August 2023, the Symphony "Kūkai", jointly presented by the Beijing Thunderdrum Culture Media Co. and the China Philharmonic Orchestra, embarked on a tour in Lanzhou in China, followed by Kyoto and Tokyo in Japan. The performance received extensive coverage from Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily Online, Sohu, and Japanese television channels.

Kūkai, an eminent Buddhist monk during the Heian period in Japan, risked his life crossing the sea to study under Acharya Huiguo, who was the seventh patriarch of the Esoteric (Shingon) Buddhism of Tang China, and the imperial preceptor for three consecutive Chinese emperors. After returning to Japan, Kūkai spread the Esoteric Buddhism and widely benefited sentient beings, bringing advanced cultural, educational, and technological aspects from Tang China back to Japan. He is regarded as a founding figure of Japanese culture.

Supported by a sizable team, the tour spanned across two countries and three cities. The performance, which blended choir beautifully into the symphony, has vividly portrayed the magnificent life story of Kūkai, and marked the millennia-long cultural exchange between China and Japan.
