Shek Kip Mei Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre | The Blue Study Live Jazz Concert, Chapter 5: Kelly Yau x Justin Siu]

Description

The latest jazz concert will feature vocalist and pianist Kelly Yau and cellist Justin Siu in a delicate yet intense performance! An unusual encounter in the world of music — the cello, with its guitar-like rhythm, engages in an improvisational dialogue with the voice and piano, transcending the boundaries of traditional instrumental arrangements. A must-attend event for music enthusiasts!

Audiences familiar with Justin may remember him as a jazz bassist. However, this time, he picks up the cello and interprets it in a completely different way — rarely staying in the bass range, but instead exploring new tones, rhythms, and lines. His supportive vocals and notes blend naturally with Kelly's expressive voice and smooth piano playing. Known for her versatility in jazz, pop, and R&B, Kelly brings warmth and improvisation to this intimate and exploratory musical conversation!

The performance will present works by contemporary jazz composers such as Esperanza Spalding, Fred Hersch, Carla Bley, and Camila Meza, as well as original compositions by the two musicians, offering a delicate and personalized contemporary jazz experience.
