The concert opens with a piano four-hands piece showcasing the intimate synergy between the two pianists, followed by a lively dialogue between violin and piano.

On July 26, the singers of SingFest, under the baton of music director Dominic Lam, will present another Mozart-themed concert. The moving melodies will trace the multifaceted landscape of Mozart’s compositions, from piano four-hand works to deeply expressive art songs and beloved opera arias.

Combining physical movement, theatrical elements, and contemporary insights, SingFest presents performances that breathe new life into classical choral music.

For this concert, the ensemble will present solos, small ensembles, and full choir performances of classic excerpts, including the “Sonata in D Major,” “An Chloe,” as well as beloved arias from “The Magic Flute,” “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Don Giovanni,” and “Idomeneo.”
