Premiere Performances 20th Season: Camille Thomas – Rendez-vous with Julien Brocal, piano

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Franco-Belgian star cellist Camille Thomas joins forces with French pianist Julien Brocal for their latest programme, Rendez-vous.

The first cellist in forty years to sign with Deutsche Grammophon, Camille captivates audiences worldwide with a rare combination of technical finesse and exuberant stage presence. Having won numerous accolades, Camille has released several critically acclaimed albums, including her 2023 release The Chopin Project, which has been streamed over ten million times.

In this recital, two of France’s most brilliant musicians reimagine some of the most iconic works, from Bach/Gounod’s Ave Maria to Saint-Saëns’ The Swan, pairing them with new compositions by these two artists inspired by these classics.

Camille Thomas made her Hong Kong debut with us in April 2023, marking a historic moment as our first performance after all COVID-related restrictions and mask mandates were lifted. Her debut became the best-selling concert in the history of Premiere Performances, perfectly illustrating our commitment to introducing Hong Kong to the world’s most promising emerging talent.
