Since 1997, Wu Promotion has successfully established cultural links between China and the rest of the world by taking Chinese culture abroad. Amongst the Chinese troupes we have toured with, there are many renowned institutions such as the China Philharmonic Orchestra, the China National Traditional Orchestra, the China Central Opera and the Peking Kun Opera. We are active in over fifty cities in 30 foreign countries, from Europe to Africa. The genre of music Wu Promotion brings abroad includes Chinese Traditional Music, Classical Music, Acrobatics and Dance & Theatre. Our two regular overseas tours, the Swan Lake Acrobatic Ballet, and the Grand Chinese New Year Concert tour have received great review around the world. The first enjoyed its third successful tour in Europe and the latter has just celebrated its 13th Year Anniversary celebration for its consistently successful tours. It was also part of the celebration of the 60-year Anniversary of Chino-Swiss relationship in Zurich, Switzerland. |
The traditional music of China dates back to the dawn of Chinese civilization and a well-developed musical culture was established as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1122 BC – 256 BC). Today Chinese traditional music continues a rich traditional heritage while developing into a more contemporary form for the world audience. Wu Promotion has been dedicated to promoting Chinese traditional music to the world for over a decade. Since the first Grand Chinese New Year Concert in 1998 in the Vienna Musikverein, featuring the best traditional orchestra of China, the concert has developed into an annually renowned cultural event in Europe.

Wu Promotion is proud to represent these individual artists and groups as they step onto the world stage of classical music.

It is recognised as the longest tour for a Chinese acrobatic show in history.

Chinese opera and dance, such as Peking Opera and Kun Opera are the most representative and oldest forms of performing arts in China. Originating from many different areas, dialects and ethnic groups, they have developed different musical structures. Most of the productions are featuring classical stories which are considered to be the intangible artifacts of Chinese history during particular eras. Today many forms of Chinese dance and theatre are less known internationally. Wu Promotion is striving to preserve the great Chinese performing arts and promote them to the world audience.
