SOME 130 bands from China and overseas will perform at an annual wind music festival later this month.

The performances, most of which will offer admission, will be presented at military camps, schools, communities, parks, malls and suburban areas from April 27 through May 4.

“The festival, which has been held annually since 2008, aims to enrich the life of the residents and increase their artistic cultures,” said Zhang Min, deputy director with the culture bureau of Yangpu District, one of the organizers of the event.
