SOLO: A Brief History of the Cello and the Illusion of Solitary Endeavors

Part concert, part contemplation, part history lesson, part collaboration  – join Eve Miller of The Publick Pleasure for an afternoon of music for unaccompanied cello like no other! From the 17th century to the 21st century, the cello has been beloved for its human voice-like quality and technical versatility. Eve will perform works that span vast time, place and technique, and along the way we’ll explore the impossibility of performing solo. Works by Domenico Gabrielli, JS Bach, Joseph Dall’Abaco, Alan Hovhaness, Eleanor Alberga, Bright Sheng and a World Premiere of a work by Philadelphia’s own Mark Rimple.
