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. The Los Angeles Times said that Hakhnazaryan’s “command of the instrument is extraordinary”, and he has been described as “Dazzlingly Brilliant” (The Strad) and “Nothing short of magnificent” (San Francisco Chronicle).

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.

One of the 20 greatest cellists of all time”

“★★★★★ Gabetta, the glamorous central attraction…commands the sort of technique that unravels even the fiercest knot with apparently nonchalant savoir-faire.” Financial Times
