Herbie Hancock and Dee Dee Bridgewater at Forbidden City Concert Hall Tonight

But don't get too excited though, as it will be an exclusive show for an education tour organized by The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and the U.S. Department of State, and we were just told by Forbidden City Concert Hall that tickets are not for sale. This is from The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz:

"Internationally renowned pianist and composer Herbie Hancock and acclaimed vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater will headline the tour. They will be accompanied by the six talented college students (Monk Fellows) who attend the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance graduate-level college program at Loyola University New Orleans. These students, who perform as the Thelonious Monk Institute Ensemble, receive full scholarships and regularly study and perform with the world’s most accomplished jazz musicians.

The group will lead a master class for Beijing’s aspiring young musicians at the National Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, May 10. They will perform at the Forbidden City Concert Hall on Tuesday evening, May 11. Additionally, the musicians will present major concerts on May 13 and 14 at the Entertainment Hall of the Shanghai 2010 Expo. These concerts are a gift from the United States to the people of China and citizens from around the world that will attend the Expo."
