Dana Leong Outdoor Silent Concert

Open Air Concert and New Album, A Rounding Success!

Last week Dana Leong celebrated his birthday on a high note with his first outdoor concert and the release of his first album!

Celebrating Dana’s much anticipated “Anthems of Life” album, the two-time Grammy Award-winning musician brought together top musicians, lighting artists, and Chinese dancers at the historic Yongfoo Elite in central Shanghai. This open-air, public, one-of-a kind mix of music and theatrics did not disappoint!

In his signature style, interweaving genres (from spiritual elements, to electronic music with experimental jazz, funk, pop, rock, and hip-hop), Dana did not deviate from his passion for collaboration. For the sold out crowd of 300+ fans in attendance, Dana performed compositions composed with world-famous musicians DJ Q-Bert and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Embracing music, energy, and dance, the concert was not only celebratory, but inspiring and invigorating.
