Expressing the spirit of the city in sounds and images, this work encompasses both Shanghai’s storied past and aspirational future. This production features a large ensemble of traditional Chinese instruments accompanied by video of the cityscape.
Shanghai Odyssey - The Bund is a five-part symphonic work commissioned and performed by the acclaimed Shanghai Chinese Orchestra. German composer Christian Jost’s composition is a bold interpretation of the city's spirit, taking inspiration from the vibrant lifestyle, spectacular cityscape and eclectic mix of old and new in this megalopolis called the Pearl of the Orient. Since its premiere in 2017, this work has captivated audiences with its fresh take on Chinese musical forms and soundscapes. The concert is accompanied by spectacular images of the cityscape of Shanghai. Just like the city itself, the intertwined music and images constantly alternate between liveliness and calm, new beginnings and echoes of the past.
