On six consecutive Tuesdays this summer, you can enjoy music, after closing, at Portland’s Classical Chinese Garden, in Chinatown. Go early, walk the gorgeous gardens, and stay for a unique concert experience.

The six week lineup just began last night with The Shanghai Woolies, a jazz/swing/pop spin-off of the über-popular Pink Martini, headed up by trumpeter Gavin Bondy. Next Tuesday will showcase soul/pop duo Curtis Salgado & Alan Hagar. On the 21st, catch the traditional Chinese violin, zeng (Chinese zither), and bamboo flute performance of the Portland Classical Chinese Trio. Round it out with a unique harmonica (yes, harmonica) experience by jazz/tango/blues phenom Joe Powers.

Dinner boxes will be available from some of Portland’s best Asian restaurants. Aren’t you intrigued? I’m adding it to my list of must-dos this summer and I think you should, too.

Ciao,
Emily
