Cao Linh Pham & Sydney Nguyen

A double concerto with Johann Sebastian Bach as the radiant centrepiece: you won't want to miss a single note. Cao Linh Pham dives into Bach's second French suite. Sydney Nguyen – a recent graduate of the Royal Carillon School of Mechelen – tackles that other famous collection, Das Wohltemperierte Klavier, and concludes with the hypnotic chaconne by Johann Pachelbel.
