From March 12th-29th, JUE | Music + Art is back with a vengeance. Brought to you by Split Works, this fiercely independent annual festival of mixed-media goodness will be going down at venues across Beijing and Shanghai during 17 days of spring, showcasing up-and-coming local and international artists of all stripes. Jue 2009 featured 25 events, 91 participating artists, and over 12,000 attendees. We’re going twice as big in 2010, with over 50 events, and participation from lots of wonderful artists, venues, movers and shakers in both cities.
Our goal is to bring community together in appreciation the best of the blossoming arts scenes in these two cities , and to stimulates local creative communities to present their work and have it promoted to a wider audience.
Enjoy!

And the Sonicbids winner is:
We teamed up with Planetary Group and US-based artist-promoter matchmaking service Sonicbids to arrange an all-expenses paid, 6-city China tour for one artist. There were no barriers to entry – anyone from anywhere in the world could apply.
We sifted through an extraordinary 773 applications, and in the end we chose Icelandic experimental composer and neo-classical multi-instrumentalist, Olafur Arnalds. Our mandate was simple – to choose a band/ artist that is well-positioned musically to use the Sonicbids tour as an entry into the China-market, an artist that really had a “fit” with China and that, at the same time, would bring something new to the audiences of this country. Olafur meets all these criteria in spades, not to mention that his music is gorgeous.
We’ll be announcing details of Olafur’s 6 China gigs after the Spring Festival, including anchor performances in Beijing and Shanghai as part of JUE.

本次Sonicbids选秀的获胜者是：
我们连同美国艺人管理和组织者Sonicbids 和 Planetary Group 安排了本次选秀活动，被选出的幸运乐队将在中国开展6个城市的巡演，并由主办方包办所有费用。报名是没有限制的——来自地球上任何地方的任何音乐人和乐队都可以申请。
我们从多达773位申请艺人中最终挑选出来自冰岛的新古典实验唱作人 Olafur Arnalds。选择方法很简单——选出的乐队/艺人要足够好，并且适合中国音乐市场的定位——将Sonicbids巡演作为进入中国市场的一把钥匙，那么艺人就需要真正适合中国，并能将新的声音带给中国听众。这些标准Olafur都很符合，更不用提他那无与伦比的美妙音乐。
Olafur Arnalds北京和上海两站的演出将作为《觉》的一部分，全部6站巡演的具体详情，我们将于春节后公布。
