Oriental Breeze is a Manchester-based Chinese music ensemble and one of the largest of its kind in the UK. Formed in 2007, it has performed and been well received at various occasions including festivals and charity events. The group contested at the Alderley Edge Festival (World Music section) in 2011 and 2012, and won in both years. The group’s ever-expanding repertoire includes many of the most popular Chinese pieces. The wide range of instruments allows the group to demonstrate the charm of traditional Chinese music, as well as the ability to express and interpret Western music with an oriental touch.
