An in-person and livestreamed event.

This recital features three distinctive works that showcase each composer’s innovative style and the powerful partnership between cello and piano. The program opens with Lukas Foss’ Capriccio, a dynamic work that blends playfulness with virtuosity. Following this is Nadia Boulanger’s Trois Pièces for cello and piano, which showcase her mastery as a composer, perhaps being more well known as a composition teacher of many modern composers. The concert will conclude with César Franck’s Sonata in A Major, a true masterpiece of the romantic repertoire.
