Overview
A former BBC Young Musician of the Year and recipient of a Classical Brit, the British cellist has championed much new music as well as winning a high reputation as an exponent of the standard repertoire for his instrument. He gave the première performance of Joseph Phibbs’s Sonata last September, and also includes a rarity in the shape of William Sterndale Bennett’s Sonata Duo, written in 1852 for the great cellist Alfredo Piatti.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
