Hello, Cello

Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra
Hello, Cello
November 21, 2009

Music Director Larry Rachliff and the Orchestra welcome back acclaimed Cellist Alban Gerhardt after his triumphant performance of the Dvorak Cello Concerto with the Philharmonic last season. Mr. Gerhardt will perform Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, op. 85. The program includes de Falla's The Three Cornered Hat and Stravinsky's Petrouchka. In the past decade Alban Gerhardt has established himself among the great cellists of our time. His sound is unmistakable, and his interpretations distinguish themselves with their great originality. The cello starts singing under his hands, known literature gets newly discovered, unknown works come to life. The fortunate combination of his unerring musical instinct, intense emotionality and a very natural, arresting stage presence fascinate his growing audiences. A special interest of his is to break with old listening and concert habits and to open classical music to a younger audience.
