Sonic Calligraphy
Sonic Calligraphy began originally as the colorful duo program of Chinese American jazz singer Peggy Chew and Swiss pianist Adrian Frey. They weave together contemporary sounds with Chinese melodies to create a new musical world that is unmistakably unique and personal.
The first concert of this duo took place more than fifteen years ago. Their "two minds meet as one musically" developed naturally from years of playing together in various settings and with different bands.
At first, their repertoire focused on jazz songs from "The Great American Songbook".
More and more they began to integrate into their program their own compositions written by the pianist and sung with the singer’s lyrics.
