Hi Siyula, may i konw what kind of music scene you like? The ones in bars & clubs or in a music hall?
Bad news is that there are few music festival in guangzhou.
I have been staying here for more than 4 years and i love playing music too. I played keyboard when i was in university.
What about you?

just arrived in GZ and recently graduated from college in Chicago... also looking for the music scene so let me know what you stumble upon!

Hey Lee and Kimchi !
I play Violin although I am not classically trained, I play by ear and always have for 11 years. However I was hoping to maybe even get some lessons while in Guangzhou. I love music festivals! Good live music is what I am into...

Daniel I haven't found much yet, just the replys I have on here so you know what I know =)

Will any of you be attending Sun Yat-Sen University? I am going to their business school.

Next weekend there are two big festivals. one is near the beer factory by the river. it will go all day and into the night. They have bands in the afternoon and some of GZ best DJ in the evening and into the night!

China is actually huge into music, especially for the summer. Nearly every weekend is a HUGE festival, beach party or boat party! LOTS to do and see!!

Hey Cara! I wont be ther until September but that sounds great!

thats cool, email me when you get here and settled and I'll take you to some great parties! hah
