Arti Shuffle Jonge Musici: A Journey Through Song

Tenor Jason Li and pianist Isaac Lam, a Hong Kong duo based in Amsterdam, present an evening celebrating the richness and diversity of the art song repertoire. Their programme opens with Robert Schumann's Dichterliebe, one of the most beloved song cycles in the German Lied tradition, followed by Maurice Ravel's Histoires Naturelles and selected songs by Florence Price and Charles Ives.

Jason Li is currently completing his Master's degree in Classical Voice at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where he studies with Sasja Hunnego. Before moving to the Netherlands, he performed extensively in Hong Kong, appearing as the tenor soloist in Meine Hoffnung meine Freunde and I-solate with HK Singfest, as well as taking operatic roles including Don Ottavio in Mozart's Don Giovanni and Danilo in Lehár's The Merry Widow. His artistic interests centre on the expressive possibilities of song and opera, bringing poetry and storytelling to life through performance.

Isaac Lam is a répétiteur, composer, and pianist based in Amsterdam. He is a freelance répétiteur with the Dutch National Opera Studio and an Associate Répétiteur at the Dutch National Opera Academy. A graduate of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, he has recently worked on productions including Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, conducted Pergolesi's La serva padrona from the harpsichord, and performed in the Kleine Zaal of the Concertgebouw. Alongside his work as a collaborative pianist, he holds a Master's degree in Composition from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. His music has been performed by ensembles including the Mivos Quartet and the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble.
