With our Music Director Gábor Takács-Nagy, Principal Cellist, Hannah Roberts, and students from the RNCM, we will breathe life into these extraordinary works.
Dvořák wrote his Cello Concerto in 1894 during his final academic year in the US. It became one of his most personal, contemplative pieces filled with monumental expression.
We will also play Kodály and Bartok, lifelong friends who shared an interest in authentic folk music. Both share the homeland of Hungary, the same as our Music Director Gábor Takács-Nagy.
Don’t miss Gábor, Hannah, Camerata, and RNCM Students perform these great works with infectious energy and almost telepathic communication.
We would like to thank Florian Leonhard Fine Violins for the loan of a fine Italian Cello for this performance by Hannah Roberts.
Hannah has this to say about the instrument: ‘ Florian Leonhard has been a world-renowned expert on these magical instruments for many years and also an invaluable support to so many musicians internationally. I am deeply grateful to Florian and his expert team for the opportunity to play the Dvořák concerto on this great instrument, which has such stunning qualities of sound and tone colour.’
