[Fringe Festival 2026] Glass Reimagined

An evening of pushing sonic boundaries, not limited to the conventional sound world known by the string quartets, inspired by the work of an acclaimed Hong Kong’s distinguished composer, Dr. Joyce Wai-chung Tang, Double Exposure —originally crafted for an octet formed by two string quartets—comes to life in a live performance by Romer String Quartet, with the help of technology, collaborating with a digitalised version of themselves.

Joining this center-piece is cellist of our own, Eric Yip’s original composition Shade in Darkness, alongside Philip Glass’s iconic String Quartet No. 5, a masterpiece of hypnotic minimalism and luminous intensity.

Each work unfolds with bespoke audio and visual elements that amplify the eccentric spirit and singular style of every piece. A refined fusion of tradition and boundary-pushing artistry awaits.
