On a Monday afternoon at Fragrant Hills (Xiangshan), tourists unexpectedly met a brass quintet playing Bach and Brahms.

Wednesday morning, people at Beijing Zoo came across a brass trio playing near the pandas. They are all musicians with Canada's National Arts Center Orchestra who are on the first tour to China in its 44-year-history.

"Fragrant Hills is famous for its maple leaves, which is the symbol of Canada. As for the panda, it is loved by people all over the world and China has sent two pandas to Canada as gifts," says Mary E. Hofstetter, consulting director of music education, NAC Orchestra, explaining why they chose these two particular places to stage pop-up concerts.
