Annamarie Reader, cello
Join us for a captivating afternoon of solo cello as we explore the timeless beauty of two iconic words that span centuries and styles: J.S. Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, a masterpiece of the Baroque era, and Gaspar Cassadó’s Suite for Solo Cello, a virtuosic composition that blends Spanish folk influences with 20th century-modernism. Experience the profound emotional depth, lyrical richness, and technical brilliance of the cello in this intimate, unaccompanied performance that bridges the past with the present, offering a journey from Baroque elegance to vibrant contemporary expression.
