The legendary double bassist François Rabbath (1931–) ​enjoys an intense career both as a performer and as a pedagogue. He accepts no limits or labels, effortlessly crossing classical, jazz, and global traditions. ​His importance to the development of double bass playing can be compared with that of Paganini to the violin. Rabbath's 2017 Trombes d'eau ​(literally 'waterspouts') is a beautiful work that reveals the versatility of the instrument. Framed by an impassioned motive, which also serves as a refrain, the core of the composition comprises five pairs of theme-and-variation, with each showcasing a dazzling performance technique. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music and the Yale School of Music, Kelvin Ng will perform this 6-minute work, and will be in dialogue with Professor Chan Hing-yan to explicate the immense virtuosity that the composition demands.
