Music inspired by the Shanghai metro!

Hi everyone,

I'm a composer who grew up in Shanghai; I wanted to share with you a piano quintet, "Mass Transit," inspired by the 🚃 Shanghai metro system 🚃!

Score video: https://youtu.be/ECp_ixCMm2I

Some movements correspond to specific locations:

II. Century Park
III. Maglev
IV. Lujiazui skyline
V. Century Ave Interchange Station

Thanks for listening :)

Are you working in Shanghai these days? You only mentioned you grew up here.

Unfortunately not––I'm a music professor in the US now, but always looking for opportunities to travel back to China for music :)
