PRESS RELEASE
Music China 2008: More Exhibitors, More New Products And More Celebrities Than Ever Before
September 04, 2008
Music China will feature more exhibitors, more new products and more artists and celebrities than ever before in 2008. Asia's leading event for the music products sector will bring together suppliers, distributors, dealers, musicians and artists from all over the world when it takes place from 9 - 12 October at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Visitors to the show will find over 1,100 exhibitors spread throughout six halls, with a wide range of educational seminars, interactive music sessions, celebrity performances and special exhibits thrown in for good measure! Exhibitors at the show will come from 22 countries and regions, and will include pavilions from Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Taiwan and the UK. New products & celebrity endorsees Period Piano will display a rare antique Pleyel piano manufactured in Paris in 1839 and restored to full playing condition after being discovered in an old French chateau. Pleyel pianos were the piano of choice for Frederic Chopin, who preferred them above all other makes. Visitors to the Period Piano stand at Music China will have the unique privilege of hearing Chopin's music played on a Pleyel piano — creating a sound exactly as Chopin himself would have played. Warwick will show their extremely limited edition Streamer LX LTD 2008 bass, a beautiful and precise instrument that has already created a commotion in the worldwide bass community, even prior to its introduction! Warwick will also show the newest version of the Framus Panthera model, the Panthera Classic Custom — a "fleet-footed blues and rock guitar which unites classic sounds and traditional aesthetics with modern playability and functionality." Warwick will welcome internationally-renowned bassist TM Stevens to their stand as official endorsee to demo some of their instruments. World-famous cymbal-maker Zildjian will show their new ReZoTM Crash cymbals, part of the Custom series that was developed with the assistance of legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. Zildjian will also introduce their first-ever colour-coated cymbal series, Pitch BlackTM, and a second generation series of Ride cymbals designed with renowned jazz drummer Bill Stewart. Innovative, cutting-edge drummer Marco Minnemann is the endorsee of Zildjian cymbals, and will be performing on their stand throughout the show. Drum Circle, sponsored by Remo A Drum Circle is a fun learning experience open to anyone who wants to participate. People sit or stand in a circle and each are given a percussion instrument of some kind. The facilitator leads from the centre of the circle, and improvised rhythms are created; music is made in the moment. It is not a drum class and it is doesn't follow any cultural-specific rhythms, it is completely free-form. There is no audience — everyone is part of the performance! The Drum Circle is sponsored by Remo and supported by KHS. NAMM University
Drum Festival Music China is organised jointly by the China Music Instrument Association, INTEX and Messe Frankfurt.
