“Sophie Dervaux wields a full-toned modern bassoon with brilliance and sensitivity”
 BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

The bassoon, an instrument bubbling with joie de vivre, gets a rare spotlight in this unique concert! French-born Sophie Dervaux, solo bassoonist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, makes an exciting Hong Kong debut performing the greatest virtuosi concertos composed for the bassoon from the Baroque and Classical eras. She will also draw her baton to conduct CCOHK in works by French composers Lully, Gossec and Guy Ropartz.
