The tiny Sanwei has a well-worn teahouse upstairs that hosts intimate concerts on the weekends. Fridays it's jazz and Saturdays it's classical Chinese, usually with a minority twist. This is the city's finest venue for Chinese traditional music, if only because you sit close enough to really experience it. Tea and snacks are included in the price. Friday and Saturday performances take place at 8:30pm.
