Inspired By China

Inspired by China is London’s Chinese-western fusion festival.

The festival is a platform for East Asian inspired work conceived and presented by Yin Yang Collective, the UK’s Chinese-western band.

A melting pot of styles and cultures make up the festival – from exhibitions and workshops featuring Chinese instruments, to traditional Chinese music, to Chinese inspired western opera, and much more.

The first Festival day was in December 2008, where YYC presented new and traditional music from China, an exhibition of Chinese and medieval bowed strings and Chinese food.

Next Festival is projected for October 2010, featuring a major London event at Wembley and a two-day project at LSO St Luke’s.
