Elysian Blues II

A glowing golden ring hangs in a dark blue sky, cracked and pouring golden light down like rain. Curved musical staves and floating notes stretch from the sky to the ocean below, where a small piano rests on calm, deep blue water. The image feels dreamlike and mysterious, with dark mountain-like shapes in the misty background.

Two musicians perform onstage in a dimly lit venue with high ceilings and wooden panelled walls. They wear flowing, traditional-style garments, and one musician on the right plays guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), the musician on the left is playing a keyboard (though you can not see the keyboard as it's hidden by the guzheng in front of it). A blue stage light casts a soft glow and haze around them, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Microphones and cables surround their setup, and the audience is partially visible in shadow on the left. The mood is calm, contemplative, and immersive.

Vibrant guzheng, piano & percussion collide in this bold, intimate, genre-blending performance.

Elysian Blues II - it’s bolder, groovier, and more unexpected than ever.

After a sold-out debut and Fringe Award nomination in 2024, guzheng artist QiQi returns with an exciting new chapter of this boundary-breaking fusion performance. Reuniting with jazz pianist/composer Darby Lee and joined by powerhouse percussionist Alexander Meagher, the trio injects rhythm and spark into every note.

This isn’t your average cross-cultural concert — it’s an intimate night of bold improvisations, vivid musical storytelling, and dynamic grooves where Chinese guzheng, jazz piano, and live percussion collide in the best way.

Expect fresh originals, reworked favourites, and spontaneous banter that brings the music to life. The vibe is casual, the playing is electric, and the audience? Right at the heart of it all.

Whether you're into jazz, ready to groove, or just up for something completely different — Elysian Blues II is the night out you didn’t know you needed.
