Sunday 13, Shanghai Symphony Hall
The prodigiously talented 23-year-old pianist and composer premieres his latest symphony. The piece runs 100 minutes and requires a large chorus and orchestra, as well as five soloists. Peng Peng Gong has formidable gifts; this is not to be missed.
Perfume Genius
Friday 11, QSW
Mike Hadreas brings his captivating, ethereal pop to Shanghai. His raw, dramatic Perfume Genius project has gone from strength to strength since the release of his triumphant album Too Bright last year. Read a full interview with him on our website.
Eat baos at East
No 39, Lane 155 Jianguo Zhong Lu
Tianzifang isn’t always associated with great dining, so it’s nice to see a causal eatery like East upping the flavour factor in this tourist maze. Definitely worth a visit, both downstairs for the tasty bao, and upstairs for the more intricate fusion menu, friendly service and quality food.
