Quatuor Hanson & Rachel Cheung

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Quatuor Hanson, winner of the Concours de Genève and the prestigious Diapason d’Or and Choc de Classica awards, is set to captivate audiences in their highly anticipated Hong Kong debut. Their programme will feature works by three visionary composers, each representing a significant milestone in the evolution of chamber music: Haydn’s unconventional B-minor String Quartet, Schumann’s ground-breaking Piano Quintet, and George Crumb’s thought-provoking Black Angels, a revolutionary composition that expanded the musical palette of contemporary string quartets.

Joined by Hong Kong’s own celebrated pianist Rachel Cheung, the Quartet will unveil the prophetic alchemy in these works with “a refreshing excitement and originality, packing a strong musical punch with the strength of their musical chemistry”.
