"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.”
