Rooted by a sibling bond that transcends the familial, the JUNO-nominated Cheng² Duo transfixes listeners through its impassioned expressivity and contagious joy—critics have hailed their performances as “brilliant” (The Sunday Times, UK), “truly exhilarating” (The WholeNote, Canada), and “absolutely captivating…through a tremendous mastery of their instruments” (Pizzicato Magazine, Luxembourg).

Cellist Bryan Cheng and pianist Silvie Cheng have been making music together for nearly their entire lives. Since officially forming the Cheng² Duo at their 2011 Carnegie Weill Recital Hall debut, their artistry has left lasting impressions across the globe, touring to illustrious concert halls and international festivals throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and South Africa.

Returning to the Opera House for the third time, the duo’s program will include their own arrangement of the suite Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky.
