Cello Recital.

Loke Hoe Kit: A Bittersweet Life

After a very nice Peranakan dinner at the Esplanade, we enjoyed cello pieces in the recital studio. Very intimate space, great acoustics. Loke is a Singaporean. Good turn.

Programme blurb.

"Cellist Loke performs with pianist Lim Yan and violinist See Ian Ike in this concert consisting mostly of popular duos and transcriptions for the cello, including Bloch’s ‘Schelomo’, Chopin’s Introduction & Polonaise Brillante, the Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia and more. Loke studied under the distinguished Nathaniel Rosen and Paul Tobias – both protégés of the great cellist Gregor Piatigorsky – at the Mannes College of Music in New York"
