BIGLAKE proudly presents Kerson Leong, “not just one of Canada’s greatest violinists but one of the greatest violinists, period” (Toronto Star). Be prepared to be mesmerized by “a mixture of spontaneity and mastery, elegance, fantasy, intensity that makes his sound recognizable from the first notes” (Le Monde).
This programme explores darkness and light, angels and devils, and passion and ethereality. Be transported by these powerful forces of life through Kerson’s magnetic musicianship and breathtaking mastery on the violin. This is a rare opportunity to see Kerson in an intimate setting, feel every note and breath up close!
