The Leisure & Cultural Services Department will present a cello recital by Alex Lau on September 9.

The emerging young cellist will collaborate with Japanese pianist Naoko Sonoda to perform an exquisite selection of cello sonatas spanning different eras, showcasing his outstanding talent and superb technique.

In the first half of the recital, the duo will perform Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 4 in C, Op. 102, No. 1 and Brahms' Cello Sonata in F, Op. 99.

The second half will feature two works from the mid-20th century, beginning with Mr Lau's solo interpretation of Ligeti's Sonata for Solo Cello, culminating in a rendition of Prokofiev's Cello Sonata in C, Op. 119 with Ms Sonoda.

Tickets for the show, which will be held at 8pm on September 9 at City Hall, are now available at URBTIX.

The cello recital is part of the "Hong Kong Artists" Series. Other programmes in the series include a vocal recital by Viola Cheung on November 13 and a Guzheng recital by Grammy Yeung on December 1.
