Abstract

Using the Amber String Quartet as a case study, this study explores the curatorial practice model of thematic art planning in contemporary music festivals. By analyzing the criteria for theme setting, curatorial framework construction and public participation mechanism, the study reveals the important role of thematic planning in cultural communication and art education. The study finds that successful thematic planning requires cultural relevance, artistic foresight and communication effectiveness, and through diversified curatorial modes and cross-media communication strategies, it can effectively enhance public art literacy and promote the socialized communication of elegant art, providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the sustainable development of contemporary music festivals.
