Andrea Zanchetta (Violin) was born in Venice, Italy. Since he
was 15 years old he has given thousands of concerts as a soloist or
chamber musician in Europe, Australia, China and Japan. His playing can
be heard on 12 CDs recorded for Rivoalto and Nuova Era. A Hong
Kong native, Tina Karen Lo (Guitar) graduated from the University of
Southern California, USA, studying under world renowned artist Pepe
Romero. Her playing can be heard on “Songs and Dance Fantasy” released
by Sony Masterworks.
The duo has given frequent performances and also revived a few
lesser known repertories. In Hong Kong they will play a programme
comprised of various French composers from the 18th Century through to
the 20th Century, with a special focus on Napoléon Coste. During the
19th Century, Coste was the most prominent guitar virtuoso and composer
in France. He lived in Paris during the time of great political and
cultural turbulence of the 1830’s. His music is programmatic in nature,
but also reflects the beautiful French pastoral countryside.
