Back to China for the Second Time
In September 2007, "Sonic Calligraphy" toured China with several concerts in Hong Kong, Kunshan and Shanghai. Joining them on this musical journey was Willy Kotoun on percussion. It was the second China tour for Peggy and Adrian after their duo appearances on the mainland in 2002.
Live in Shanghai, 2007
In October 2006, Peggy performed at the Sanchez Concert Hall in Pacifica, California with Adrian Frey, piano and the American rhythm section of John Wiitala, bass and Jon Arkin, drums. The concert was reviewed in the Pacifica Tribune:
"Smart music fuse of culture without boundaries...the vision of Sonic Calligraphy...The Chinese tune “Lan Hua Hua“ (The Orchid) was hip,catchy and hot..."Li Bai’s Mood" (Frey) accompanied by the words of an ancient Chinese poem "Quiet Night Thoughts" spotlighted Chew’s eloquent vocal charm inside a whirl of expressive percussion. The extraordinary musicianship of Sonic Calligraphy is obvious."
In January and February 2007, Peggy Chew and Adrian Frey shared musical experiences in Brazil where they participated in jam sessions and concerts in Rio de Janeiro and Joao Pessoa.
In May 2007, Peggy was a guest soloist of the JCT All Stars in Thalwil, Switzerland as part of the International Thalwil Jazz Weekend.
