The Grammy Award-winning trumpet virtuoso Chris Botti will lead a performance at the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing on Saturday, marking the resumption of his world tour titled "Volume One".

For almost three decades, Botti has been one of the world's most sought-after instrumentalists, with a versatile, open-ended style of music that is jazzy, classical, and poppy, always delivering surprises. With his handsome appearance and superb playing, he has taken the jazz world by storm, becoming one of the most successful jazz crossover pop stars.

At his Beijing leg, Botti will perform pieces from his latest album "Volume 1" and focus on acoustic jazz and classic jazz.

For the volume, he said that he loved to hear cinematic quality music. It is important to him that all the performing needs to be beautiful and elegant.

Eagerly anticipating the upcoming concert in Beijing, Botti is thrilled to collaborate with an esteemed ensemble of musicians, comprising renowned singer-songwriter John Splithoff and violinist Anastasiia Mazurok, to present an extraordinary performance.

The concert will feature a diverse repertoire of Irish ballads, animated movie theme songs and more, showcasing Botti's versatile musical style. It is also a reboot of his musical career, and together with his band members, they will present the audience an unforgettable evening.
