Two Evenings with Sir Stephen Hough

NIGHTSCAPES

Resound Collective presents Sir Stephen Hough in recital, his first concert in Singapore since he was knighted in the Queen’s recent Birthday Honours. Titled ‘Nightscapes’, the programme features nocturnal musings and wanderings of an artist from night songs to nightmares, including Debussy’s atmospheric Estampes, Chopin’s nocturnes and Hough’s own Partita, which he composed in 2019.

One of the most distinctive artists of his generation, Sir Stephen combines a distinguished career as a pianist with those of composer and writer. He has appeared on major worldwide stages from Carnegie Hall in New York, to Royal Festival Hall in London.
