Two decades on from releasing his debut solo album, Jay Chou has gone on to sell more than 30 million records to become the “King of Mandopop”. Blending elements of Western and Eastern music, the multi-award-winning artist has created his own style of music which the Taipei Times described as his own “dream-like never-never land”. You’ll be able to fall into this dreamy realm when Candlelight pays tribute to Jay Chou in the stunning Chamber at the Sydney Masonic Centre.
Join Kai Chan for solo piano renditions of Jay Chou’s most popular songs. Tickets from $32.
The Masonic Centre will be filled with the light of hundreds of candles for an idyllic tribute concert to the music and film star. As the light flickers and glows, you’ll get to hear a number of classic Jay Chou songs, including the likes of “Tornado 龍捲風”, “晴天 Sunny Day” and “The Promised Love 說好的幸福呢”. See the full program here.
The ivories will twinkle through the notes and Jay’s formal musical training will shine as bright as the candles when pianist Kai Chan takes to the stage. So to will the smattering of world music styles as well as sounds from pop, rap, blues and more that can be found in Jay’s catalogue of hits.
The Candlelight Tribute to Jay Chou at the Sydney Masonic Centre takes place on Saturday 28 January and Saturday 4 February. There are two performances each evening and doors open 30 minutes prior to the concerts to give audiences plenty of time to find their seat, relax and fall into the tranquil Candlelight realm.
