Wan Pin Chu returned to China Exchange on Friday 16 September, as part of our Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.

The musical evening was split into 4 parts, each focusing on a different genre of music. From early traditional pieces, to famous Chinese pop songs and rock and roll to Wan’s impressive version of Flight of the Bumblebee, Wan wowed the audience with his talent.

In-between songs Wan talked about the history of the traditional Chinese instrument and his long term love affair with it.

Joined by his musical friends, the night was varied and even included a traditional Chinese magic trick!
