Artist Change
Due to the cancellation of her Asian tour with Les Siècles, cellist Sol Gabetta is unable to perform in Hong Kong on Monday, November 18, 2024. We are very grateful to have Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medal-winning cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan step in at such short notice.
There will be no change to the recital programme.
The date, time and venue of the recital remain unchanged on November 18, 2024 at 7:30pm at Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall. Patrons will be admitted with the original “Sol Gabetta Cello Recital” tickets. There is no need for an exchange of tickets to attend the concert.
For those who wish to refund, please contact Ticketing Manager Ms Loretta Cheung at 2811 2321 or email to loretta.cheung@pphk.org by Nov 11, 2024.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
