Jazz and Chinese music in the Wilmkebreekpolder
Qisheng Zheng and Tijs Klaassen present a concert where modern jazz and traditional Chinese music come together. With flute, vocals, and double bass, they create a sound that feels both contemporary and timeless. The music moves between cultures and styles, inviting you to enter a world of sound and improvisation.
Qisheng Zheng: flute, singing and more
Qisheng Zheng combines Eastern sounds with improvisation, rap, hip-hop, and jazz. She plays the flute and sings, and switches effortlessly between styles. This makes her a versatile musician with a recognizable sound of her own.
Tijs Klaassen: double bass as foundation
Tijs Klaassen provides accompaniment on double bass and lays the rhythmic and harmonic foundation for the duo. Together with Qisheng, he forms a musical unit that allows room for spontaneity and interplay.
