Grzegorz Karnas Formula played at jazz festivals in several Chinese cities, including the exceptional sold-out concert in the Sichuan Music Conservatory, where a local female orchestra – Beauty & Melody – accompanied the Polish musicians. The artists presented both Karnas’ songs and traditional Chinese melodies. The culmination of their tour was the concert at the most prestigious concert hall in the south of China – the Xinghai Concert Hall in Guangzhou, which took place on 24th October. It was held as part of the Guangzhou Jazz Festival, which included the likes of Randy Becker, WDR Big Band and Lisa Ono.

Grzegorz Karnas prepared a dedicated programme presented both in Polish and Mandarin. He also gave lectures on vocal improvisation. ‘Having in mind the characteristics of the Middle Kingdom, I created a repertoire with a core part in Mandarin. It is an eccentric story referring to the Old Testament tale of Paradise Lost. A story of love, disappointment, envy and betrayal – the feelings known to all cultures. The story intertwined in music had definitely helped keeping the Chinese audience’s attention during their maiden voyage into the jazz zoo’, adds Karnas.

格热戈日·卡尔纳斯人声四重奏还在中国其他几大城市相继举办了音乐会。其中，乐队在四川音乐学院和 “天姿国乐”女子民乐团合作，合奏了卡尔纳斯的原创歌曲及中国民乐曲调。此次演出全部售罄，获得了一直好评。乐队随后在10月24日于中国最具声望的广州星海音乐厅作为广州爵士音乐节的参与乐队之一，与兰迪·贝克，西德广播大乐队，小野丽莎等同台演出，结束此次中国巡演。卡尔纳斯为此次巡演精心准备了一台同时包括波兰语和中文的节目，同时也在讲座中传授了声乐即兴演奏的诀窍。卡尔纳斯说，秉承着中国文化特色，他特意将汉语节目作为此次巡演节目的核心，讲述在圣经旧约中关于失乐园的一则故事。这个故事讲述了爱情，失望，嫉妒心和背叛等所有文化都能随之共鸣的感情。他认为将这个故事融合在音乐中能充分帮助中国观众，尤其是第一次接触爵士乐的观众更深的了解这种音乐形式。
