Grachtenfestival: Qisheng Zheng & Tijs Klaassen

Jazz and Chinese music in 1 concert

Qisheng Zheng and Tijs Klaassen present a concert together where two musical worlds meet. Qisheng plays the flute and sings, weaving Eastern sounds with improvisation, rap, hip-hop, and jazz. Tijs accompanies her on double bass. The duo creates a contemporary sound that feels both familiar and surprising.

An all-rounder on flute and vocals

Qisheng Zheng is a versatile musician. She moves effortlessly between genres and traditions, from traditional Chinese music to modern jazz. This breadth makes her performance unpredictable and varied. Tijs Klaassen forms the soothing foundation upon which Qisheng tells her story.

Part of the Grachtenfestival Amsterdam
