German singer-songwriter Maximilian Hecker is inviting fans in Guangzhou for a night of "melancholy pop hymns" on Nov 1.

Hecker is known for classical piano accompaniment and ethereal falsetto. He sings about pure love's comfort to lonely and broken hearts. Hecker prefers to sit close to audiences and softly hum his hits. He'll perform Kate Moss, Lady Sleep and Snow White in Guangzhou.

8 pm, Nov 1. Symphony Hall, Xinghai Concert Hall, No 33 Qingbo Lu, Ersha Island, Yuexiu district. 020-8735-2222.
