This Spring: Larcher World Premiere with New York Phil and Bavarian Radio Symphony

This spring, Alisa Weilerstein gives the world and European premieres of Austrian composer Thomas Larcher’s new concerto – a co-commission of the New York Philharmonic and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra – with the New York Philharmonic under Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider and the Bavarian Radio Symphony under Alan Gilbert, respectively.

This performance marks the third new concerto for Alisa this season, following Gabriela Ortiz’s Dzonot and Richard Blackford’s The Recovery of Paradise.

Bach Cello Suites Available on Cleveland Orchestra’s Adella Streaming Platform

Beginning February 25 at 7pm EST, the Cleveland Orchestra presents a recital performance of Alisa Weilerstein playing Bach’s complete cycle of Solo Cello Suites recorded live at Severance Hall in January 2021.

These six pieces, written from 1717-1723 for Bach’s own use, were rediscovered in the 20th century to become one of the greatest and most-loved works for cello — showcasing a player’s artistry in a journey across a range and depth of emotions.

Premiering on January 30, Alisa joins pianist and frequent collaborator Inon Barnatan for a recital of De Falla’s “Suite Populaire Espagnole” and Rachmaninoff’s “Sonata for Cello & Piano in G Minor, Op. 19” at Chamber Music Northwest (available online until February 6).
