The Beijing concert was part of the 27th Beijing Music Festival. According to the festival's artistic director Zou Shuang, in 2015, Akiho was commissioned by the festival to write the Ping-Pong Concerto in which an orchestra, a violin soloist, a percussionist and two table tennis players worked together. A real table for the match was set up in front of the members of the China Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Zhang Yi's podium. The music piece received warm feedback from the audience.
