Cheng² Duo
Chamberfest is thrilled to once again host Ottawa’s own Cheng2 Duo. Siblings Bryan and Silvie Cheng present a program featuring Pärt’s mesmerizing Fratres, Piazzolla’s inspired Le Grand Tango, and Brahms’ powerful Cello Sonata No. 1. This performance follows hot on the heels of Bryan’s major success as a prize-winner at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in June 2022.
