CrossStrings Duo is made up of two of Sabah’s most prominent musicians, guitarist Stanley Chin and violinist Yap Ling. As musicians and teachers, Stanley and Yap Ling have brought about a new appreciation, and awaken a passion for performance art amongst Sabah’s youth.

A Musical Sojourn by CrossStrings Duo by these amazing string maestros will be an evening of original and re-arranged works in different genres, and includes compositions by famous composers such as Paganini, Emmanuel Falla, Albeniz, Giulliani and Piazzolla.

As a guitarist, Stanley has appeared both as a soloist and chamber musician which he performs frequently with various local and international musicians.
