OPUS Season 2 | Double Bass by Evette Chiu

OPUS Concert Series returns to Hotel Stage with an extraordinary evening featuring double bassist Evette Chiu and pianist Joanne Li. Focusing on contemporary masterworks from the post-1950s era, this carefully curated programme showcases a rich tapestry of styles, unveiling the unexplored possibilities of the double bass. From a 1970s Finnish work featuring innovative playing techniques that shatter conventional perceptions of the instrument, to the delicate, modal lyricism of a Hungarian work; from the infectious, jazz-infused swing of American classical works, to a Latvian masterwork combined with emotions and hypnotic groove—each piece unveils a distinct facet of the instrument’s versatile charm. Placing the rarely spotlighted double bass at the heart of the stage, we invite you to immerse yourself in its deep, resonant sonic world and explore the exciting boundaries of modern classical music with us. - Wine-tasting: 6:00pm Performance: 7:30pm
