Vocal fans won’t want to miss a solo concert by Liao Changyong, who is perhaps China’s most distinguished classical music baritone today. Liao will sing Western opera pieces and Chinese songs.

    Between 1996 and 1997, he won first prizes at the 41st French International Toulouse Singing Competition, the Placido Domingo World Opera Competition and the Queen Songja International Music Competition. These are the three highest honors in their field. Even Placido Domingo praised Liao as a “great young singer.”
