Crossing Borders - Challenging the instruments Beyond





"Crossing Borders – Challenging the instruments Beyond" Toccata Studio at 19B, SS2/55, Petaling Jaya, is staging a one of a kind evening by presenting the much loved saxophone “classically” on 19 July, 8pm. Change your perspectives of the well-known sexy jazz instrument with the works by classical contemporary composers across different continents and witness the piano tackles the role of an 11-instrument ensemble and the Chinese GuZheng. Our saxophonist hails from Beijing and is currently the youngest member on the faculty of the renowned Central Music Conservatory in Beijing. He will join force with our own Malaysian pianist who tasted Russian snow and breathed Russian air for 10 years.

Toccata Studio, which promotes classical musical primarily, is not only a platform for musicians but it is also a place for various forms of music and arts. We welcome everyone to join us to support our promotion for music and arts.

 An event not to be missed. For more information about the musical performance, please call 016-3618504.
