A virtuosic pianist, mathematical genius, and prolific composer, Kit Armstrong is one of a kind who has captivated audiences worldwide with his original approach to music. He also displays remarkable gifts for science and languages, and is a protégé of Alfred Brendel, who ascribes to him "an understanding of the great piano works that combines freshness and subtlety, emotion and intellect". For his Hong Kong Recital Debut, Armstrong offers an intriguing programme with highlights from his multi-award-winning DG debut album dedicated to William Byrd and John Bull, works by Saint-Saëns, Mozart, Bach, and Liszt, as well as his own composition, Études de dessin (2017).
