Up Close: International Festival Chorus

On December 13, for one night only, the IFC are combining classic Brahms with all the glitz of Broadway (see listings for more details). Their artistic director, Nick Smith, spoke to SH.

SH: You've been in China for over 10 years now. Has the way audiences react to your performances changed during that time? 
NS: Yes. I think Western music has become a part of life in China's big cities.

Up Close: Milk@Coffee

Kiki (one half of mellow indie-pop darlings Milk@Coffee) is not your average pop star. As the duo prepare to play Yuyintang on November 29, SH caught up with her for a cuppa.
