Music Guangzhou

Music Guangzhou – China Guangzhou International Musical Instruments Expo is an annual trade and public fair that has grown since its inception in 2004 into one of Asia’s leading platforms for musical instruments and music technology. Organized by Guangdong International Science and Technology Exhibition Co., Ltd. in cooperation with the China Musical Instrument Information Center and the Guangdong Science & Technology Cooperation Center, the event benefits from the combined expertise of scientifically and economically established institutions. This partnership highlights the fair’s aim to promote technological innovation, cultural exchange, and economic growth equally.

The event takes place at the China Import & Export Fair Complex (Pazhou Complex) in Guangzhou, one of the largest and most modern exhibition centers in Asia. Its location in a vibrant economic hub in southern China emphasizes the expo’s role as an international meeting point for the music industry, bridging regional traditions with global connections.

Music Guangzhou brings together the entire value chain of the music industry in one place. It offers a dedicated platform for businesses, professionals, and music enthusiasts to present, discover, and network. The focus extends beyond classical instruments such as pianos, guitars, violins, wind, and percussion instruments to include traditional Chinese instruments, whose cultural significance is especially highlighted on the international stage.

A standout feature of the expo is its strong emphasis on music technology and digital innovation. Exhibits include electronic instruments, music software, digital audio workstations, and AI-powered smart devices—demonstrating how modern technology is transforming music creation and distribution. This is complemented by a strong focus on music education and training. Workshops, expert forums, and educational programs provide music educators, students, and institutions with opportunities to expand their knowledge, explore modern teaching methods, and connect internationally.

Another highlight is the rich program of live performances, concerts, and cultural events featuring both local talent and international artists. These events add an emotional and artistic layer to the fair’s professional appeal.

The expo also offers ideal conditions for international business development. It serves as a central platform for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and buyers to discover new products, initiate collaborations, and tap into new markets. Direct interaction with industry leaders provides hands-on insights into market trends, technological advancements, and future directions.

In this way, Music Guangzhou is much more than an exhibition—it is a comprehensive event that brings together musical diversity, technological progress, and global perspectives. With its wide-ranging offerings and strategic location in one of Asia’s most important exhibition centers, it plays a key role in positioning Guangzhou as a major cultural and innovation hub in the global music scene.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 23. May to 26. May 2024, about 705 exhibitors on the Music in Guangzhou.

The Music takes place annually, and therefore for the 22nd time previsibly in May 2026 in Guangzhou.
