Description
Join JUNO-nominated brother-and-sister Cheng² Duo for a spellbinding journey of folk songs and dances from Spain, England, Germany, Romania, France, and Georgia. Ottawa-born Bryan (cello) and Silvie (piano) Cheng, now based in Berlin and Manhattan, assemble a colourful mixture of beloved and rarely-heard suites of diverse European styles, inspired by their own travels as globe-trotting siblings regularly touring the world’s most prestigious concert halls and festivals. Known for their uncanny ability to forge an instant and lasting connection with audiences, the Cheng² Duo will guide you through infectiously lively and tuneful pieces written literally “for all people” – folk at its finest!

Robert Schumann: Five Pieces in Folk Style, Op. 102
