Mystery “Black” Music! Let’s reveal by yourself!
Leading cellists and double bass players in Hong Kong

One of the most loved musical instruments of all time, the Cello, especially when supported by its big brother the Double Bass, is the living heart of a vast and diverse array of ensembles. Its listeners also enjoy an abundant and varied repertoire of solo works spanning almost 400 years, which surely has been inspired by its closeness to the human voice.
Black is a uniquely flexible group of musicians comprising 4 Cellos and a Double Bass, which is committed to creating new avenues of music making.
So close your eyes, clear your thoughts, and allow Black to awaken your imagination!
