Over the years, the duo of Peggy Chew, vocals and Adrian Frey, piano have been cultivating their “two minds meet as one“ over a wide range of repertoire from “The Great American Songbook," American folk pop tunes, Chinese folksongs to original compositions. In 2001, they created "Sonic Calligraphy" which was inspired by the Chinese music that Peggy heard growing up as the Chinese-American daughter of Chinese immigrants. Jazz, latin, afro-cuban and european classical styles and improvisation fuse with traditional Chinese melodies to create a captivating cross-cultural blend of a new sound. Since 2005, master percussionist, Willy Kotoun is a new member of the group.
