Formerly scheduled to take place in Nanjing from November 17 – 20, Music China will now be moved to a later timeslot with the new dates to be confirmed by the organizers at the earliest opportunity. The decision to postpone the fair is in support of the government’s pandemic control measures following a recent increase in COVID-19 cases in the country.
“We know how significant the dates of Music China are in the calendar of everyone in the musical instruments industry, and for this reason we are doing our utmost to find a suitable set of dates for the fair to return as soon as possible,” says Ms Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “Given the hard work we have put in to hold the fair during November, the decision to postpone Music China was not easy, but we have a duty to support the government in its pandemic control measures. On behalf of the organisers, I would like to thank everyone involved for their support and patience while we secure a new timeslot for the fair to return.”
Music China is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, the China Musical Instruments Association and Shanghai Intex Exhibition Co Ltd.
