Music Toronto: Steven Isserlis & Connie Shih

This page is also available in / Cette page est également disponible en: English (Anglais)

Frequent musical companions, Steven Isserlis and Connie Shih are both internationally renowned soloists and chamber musicians. Their collaborations have thrilled audiences at Wigmore and Carnegie Halls, amongst many others.

Mr. Isserlis’s reputation goes beyond performing: he has created texts for children’s works, is a keen champion of new music as well as authentic performance, and also has a career as a broadcaster and writer. In a beautifully crafted program that is reflective of his broad interests, of particular note is the Ritournelle of the little-known Czech composer Vitezslava Kaprálová, whose life and promising career was sadly cut short at the age of 25. It is paired here with what will undoubtedly be memorable performances of some of the gems of the cello/piano duo repertoire.
