In Ac-chord: Sonatas for Cello & Piano

April 10, 2026 7:30pm

YST Concert Hall
Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, 3 Conservatory Drive

In Ac-chord honours YST’s Guy Hentsch Prize for Piano Performance and the Geoffrey SK Yu Prize for Cello Performance, recognising the generous support that makes the cultivation of YST’s student pianists and cellists possible. On this evening, our talented students from the YST Cello and Piano Studios take the stage alongside YST Head of Piano Studies Professor Albert Tiu, as well as Piano and Cello Faculty Associate Professor Ning An, Lim Yan, Leslie Tan, Wang Zihao and more.

Witness this dynamic collaboration as they present sonatas by Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Rachmaninoff and Poulenc, brought to life in ‘ac-chord’—between instruments in dialogue, between artistry and excellence, and between performers through shared collaboration.
