Shanghai Tour 2016 - Part 1

In 2016, the Ascot Park Hotel Brass embarked on a cultural exchange tour to China, beginning with several days in Shanghai. The band performed in public squares, schools, and cultural centres, showcasing New Zealand’s brass tradition to new audiences.

The trip was an incredible learning opportunity for the band members, with experiences ranging from navigating local customs to sharing the stage with Chinese musical ensembles. Part one of the tour focused on community and school performances in urban Shanghai and surrounding areas.
