What is better than to unwind to the magic of fine music and tranquil surroundings at the end of the day?

As a collaboration with the renowned Kuhmo Chamber Music of Finland, this Musicus Heritage concert brings together international cellist Trey Lee, esteemed violinist Minna Pensola and violist Vladimir Mendelssohn, violinist-pedagogue Gian Paolo Peloso, as well as burgeoning Hong Kong pianist Rachel Cheung and violinist Hannah Tam, in a one-of-a-kind chamber rendezvous.

Drawing heavily on Central European and Nordic folklores and fairy tales, the chamber vignettes of Dvořák, Bartók and Sibelius are fitting complements to the ethereal ambiance of Nan Lian Garden. In addition to these opaque gems, the beloved piano chamber pieces by Schumann and Brahms will be the handpicked centerpieces in each of the two concerts.

Join us and be inspired by this intimate encounter with world-class artists and superb music-making.

Tickets will be available at Cityline and Tom Lee Music outlets on 26 March 2018 10am.

Event Partners: Kuhmo Chamber Music and Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation
