When the profound resonance of a bass voice meets the timeless beauty of German Lieder, an evening of rare artistry unfolds.

On September 27, acclaimed bass Zhang Jianlu, pillar of the Shanghai Opera House and one of China's most distinguished voices, invites audiences into the world of Schubert and Brahms.

Zhang is renowned for his powerful yet expressive voice and deeply insightful interpretations.

Beyond China, he has performed widely across Asia and Europe, earning international acclaim.
