The 60-plus members of China’s Hangzhou Wenlan School Youth Orchestra will perform twice in the metro area this weekend while getting treated to some southern hospitality courtesy of their hosts, the Newnan Cultural Arts Commission.

The group will perform at the Rialto Center for the Arts in downtown Atlanta at 2 p.m. Saturday (free), and at 3 p.m. Sunday at Coweta County’s Centre for Performing and Visual Arts ($8, $5 students and seniors).

Partnered with Coweta teens for their visit through Tuesday, they’ll get to enjoy covered-dish and barbecue meals, tour Atlanta and play games at the Coweta County Fairgrounds.
