As I write from my 17th floor hotel room overlooking the extravagant, diverse skyline of central Shanghai, I look forward to my upcoming tour, with the Westminster Quartet, of cities in China's East and South.
An exciting programme of jazz, pop, and classical works, including some music by Chinese composers, will be presented across 10 cities:
5/4 Kunshan
6/4 Nanjing
7/4 Taizhou
8/4 Yixing
10/4 Hangzhou
12/4 Deqing
14/4 Zhuhai
15/4 Shenzhen (Pingshan)
16/4 Xiamen
19/4 Zhongshan
(Each of the cities listed above is clickable, taking you to the corresponding event page with further information.)
It's been a treat seeing the various poster and banner designs promoting our concerts, including this vintage style opus:
The lineup is as follows: Sara Maxman and Polina Sharafyan, violins
Charlie Howells, viola
Jayden Lamcellari, cello
Julian Chan, piano
It's already been a superb trip thus far, and I am very much looking forward to the next couple of weeks on tour.
