Karen Wong (flute) and Lance Mok (piano/composer) are two of the founding members of Ensemble Fioritura and join Live Music Now as a duo. They aspire to promote music of our time and repertoire for wind instruments.
The classically trained duo are excited to bring accessible works of under-represented composers today and in the past to their audience and explore the possibilities of sounds. They believe that sounds are the essence of memories and that the evocative power of music brings people with different stories together.
Karen and Lance both grew up in Hong Kong and have brought their music around the world.
‘Karen Wong’s strong rounded tone is beautifully centred […] There’s a slightly aureate sound to her playing. Lance Mok, now an acclaimed composer, is well-known here too. His playing […] is rightly celebrated, as are both artists’ curiosity and desire to probe untapped repertoire.’ – FringeReview (2023)
