      Jazz night

    Relax and listen to some local jazz with a range of imported European wines in High Society.

    The High Society Club holds a lovely and romantic night with the live jazz performance by trumpeter Lance, pianist David and female volcalist Diliana Georgieva.

    Offering an atmosphere as you would expect from the most exclusive gentlemen clubs in London, High Society is a live jazz club in Beijing that offers you the intimacy to the performers as The Village Vanguard in New York City, with acoustic jazz trios and quartets and female vocalists.

    A selection of wine imported from France and Australia and international menu is worth a try.

    Time/date: 9 pm, September 5

    Location: High Society, 55 Xingfu Zhongjie (Jiezuo Dasha), Chaoyang District
