Cellist Alisa Weilerstein “is a throwback to an earlier age of classical performers . . . she inhabits a piece fully and turns it to her own ends” (New York Times). For this performance she’ll tackle Schumann’s cello concerto, a piece in which “the romantic quality, the vivacity, the freshness and humor…are indeed wholly ravishing.” This review came from Clara Schumann, who would have known. The program opens with Jennifer Higdon’s beautiful blue cathedral, a piece she wrote in memory of her younger brother, incorporating references to their life together.
