Kit Armstrong Piano Recital: Ballet on the Keys

Program

Acclaimed pianist Kit Armstrong, described by The Washington Times as playing with a "singing" tone and vast color possibilities, returns to the Premiere Performances of Hong Kong series with his recital, "Ballet on the Keys." This performance offers a unique opportunity to witness how grand orchestral ballet scores are reimagined for the solo piano.

Highlights

Armstrong will transform iconic orchestral ballet music into the delicate yet grand world of solo piano. The program features selections from:

• Prokofiev: Four pieces from Romeo and Juliet
• Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2
• Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances, Op. 45 (arranged for solo piano by Inon Barnatan)

Kit Armstrong’s recordings are internationally celebrated, having won the Opus Klassik, Diapason d’Or, and Gramophone awards. His recent Rachmaninoff recording series also received the German Record Critics' Award in 2025.
