Twelve Girls Band – Chinese New Year Concert

Hear traditional Chinese folk instruments meld with modern pop music

This lady-powered Chinese music group will perform favourites from their highly-regarded discography as well as covers of other popular tunes in their Sydney Opera House performance for Lunar New Year. The group is known for their unusual sound, which marries traditional Chinese folk melodies with rock, pop and jazz styles.

The Twelve Girl Band started creating their modern compositions in 2001, touring in China, Japan, the US and now Australia. The twelve-member make-up of the group was based on Chinese mythology of the 12 jinchai (12 hairpins) representing womanhood.
