On March 10, top cellist Gabriel Schwabe return to Beijing to perform with the China NCPA Orchestra under the baton of Chinese conductor Zhang Guoyong at the National Centre for the Performing Arts

From Dec 25, 2016 to Jan 16, 2017, cellist Gabriel Schwabe did an extensive tour of China, comprising 16 cities, including Wuhan, Chongqing, Shanghai and Beijing. Together with Chinese pianist Zhao Yinyin and Robert Oberaigner, the principal clarinet at the Staatskapelle Dresden, he performed works by Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms.

It was Schwabe's first trip to China and he was fascinated by the immense cultural richness of the country "with each region having its own climate, traditions, way of life and cuisine".
