- **Event Description**: “This album deserves to be heard by anyone who admires exceptional singing and instrumental craftsmanship, whether in opera, jazz or popular music.”Dailymail“DiDonato conjured a nightclub atmosphere that was at once relaxed and rarefied, improbable and utterly convincing. Songplay fell into a groove of its own singular making, and pulled a grateful, at times wonderstruck, audience into its warm embrace.”San Francisco Classical Voice“[Songplay is] a fantastic program that not only showcased a wide array of enjoyable repertory, but also spotlighted DiDonato’s unique artistry…”OperawireAmerican mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato returns to Hong Kong with her Grammy Award-winning album, Songplay.Songplay is a unique fusion of Baroque arias and American songbook classics. DiDonato seamlessly melds two seemingly disparate worlds into one cohesive and stunning musical journey. Songplay is a deeply personal project, born from DiDonato’s childhood love of singing and the exciting, organic fusion of baroque and jazz she creates as a musician today.Songplay has toured across the US and Europe to great acclaim. In this Hong Kong concert, Joyce DiDonato will be joined by an ensemble of piano, bass, drums, trumpet and bandoneon, led by pianist and arranger Craig Terry. This concert promises a thrilling experience for all music lovers.Piano / Arranger: Craig TerryBass: Gregg AugustDrums: Jimmy MadisonTrumpet: Charlie PorterBandoneon: Lautaro GrecoProgrammeGIORDANI Caro mio ben (My Dear Beloved) (arr.
