Asian Tour of Luxembourg’s cellist André Mergenthaler – Shanghai – June 2026

The Consulate General of Luxembourg was very pleased to welcome renowned Luxembourgish composer and cellist André Mergenthaler in Shanghai, second last stop of his Asian tour after Singapore, Vientiane and Bangkok.

In Shanghai, he performed at two of the city’s iconic jazz venues: JZ Club Shanghai on 15 June and House of Blues & Jazz on 16 June 2026.

Both evenings drew large audiences of music enthusiasts eager to experience his captivating and dynamic live performances. Mergenthaler is quite well known to Shanghai’s cultural scene, having performed at the Luxembourg Pavilion during the World Expo 2010, making this return particularly meaningful.

Recognized as one of Europe’s leading cello‑looping artists, he crafts layered compositions in real time, transforming a single cello into a rich, orchestral soundscape. His blend of rhythm, harmony, and melody creates immersive performances that have become his artistic hallmark.

He will conclude his landmark Asian tour in Beijing, where he will perform at the Blue Note Club.
