2nd China Tour

26 December 2006 to 10 January 2007

 

The Amadeus Orchestra's first tour of China was so successful, that they were invited back and recently visited China for the second time, performing a series of concerts in cities including Zibo, Zhenjiang, Anyang and Fuzhou.

 

Dave Harries, one of the horn players on the tour, made a series of programmes about the trip for BBC Radio - visit the site to hear them! Dave and conductor Philip Mackenzie also appeared on Radio 4's Excess Baggage to talk about the joys and horrors of touring with a large orchestra - listen to the programme
