Clarke, John Plant, and Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu, as well as Canadian composers Carmen Braden and Alice Ping Yee Ho. This concert is in the Lilian Piercey Hall.

Smith | King duo is thrilled to present the world premiere of Prelude No. 2 for violin and piano by Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu of Halifax as part of their upcoming tour to Toronto and Yellowknife.
Pianist Jennifer King will also perform the world premieres of two new pieces for solo piano: Night thoughts are not so dark in June by Carmen Braden and …and then we saw the stars… by John Plant, both of which were written for her, the latter funded by Arts Nova Scotia.
Violinist Gillian Smith will perform two pieces for solo violin which she commissioned for her recent album "En Route": Amy Brandon's Dualisms and Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu's EN ROUTE.
Smith | King Duo is looking forward to sharing this great music with you in advance of their tour to Toronto and Yellowknife in September 2024!
