Discussion around Midi

  • China’s Woodstock, Since MIDI moved outdoors in 2002, the Woodstock comparison has been inevitable. Some play it down, others, like Zhang Fan, head of the MIDI Music School, swear by it. Regardless, playing an outdoor stage in front of thronging fans is an experience like none other. MIDI vets share their thoughts. in City Weekend Beijing
  • Eight Years of Midi Madness, Almost a decade after the Midi School of Music first put on a little concert for their students, Beijing's now monstrous Midi Music Festival asserts its dominance in 2007 as China's greatest live music round-up. Get schooled on the bands, moments and music that ROCKS BEIJING'S WORLD. In City Weekend Beijing.
