The Chautauquan Daily Newspaper
"Musician Stelth Ng Collaborates With Charlotte Ballet for Second Year"
By Ryan Lindsay
Published August 4, 2017
The work is set to a movement of string quartet music by Sgroi, a Toronto composer, and Ng said each dancer is meant to “represent their own individual instrument in the string quartet.”
Ng called Sgroi’s piece, “Transcendence: Hold On,” a movement that is “absolutely beautiful and haunting.”
He recorded it in May with a string quartet in Toronto.
"The two female leads embody “the upper voices,” the first and second violins, while the two male leads represent “the lower voices,” the viola and cello."
“While anyone who’s listening to the string quartet will hear a duet between the cello and violin,” Ng said, “I want the dance side of it to see the pas de deux happen between the respective female and male dancers.”
