Tang and Haywood first performed the 1st movement from Tchaikovsky's Souvenir dun lieu cher, a slow piece which was originally the middle movement of the Russian composer's Violin Concerto in D major. This was, of course, discarded in favour of the Canzonetta we know and love today. Tang brought out a beautiful but striking tone on the 1750 J.B.Guadagnini violin on loan by the National Arts Council.
 |
| Sam Haywood added a couple of solo pieces of his own, Chopin's Nocturne in D flat major Op.27 No.2 and Rachmaninov's Prélude in B flat major, Op.23 No.2. |
 |
| The duo also spoke briefly how their partnership came about, and what Russian music meant to them. |
 |
| The short programme concluded with the last section of Stravinsky's Divertimento, which is an adaptation from his ballet The Fairy's Kiss. |
 |
| Tee Khoon meets with young pianist Liew Ai Xin from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. |
