Carnegie Hall, Atlanta Symphony and Staatskapelle Berlin, and Fall Chamber performances

Following the UK Premieres of FRAGMENTS 1 & 2, Alisa performs FRAGMENTS 4 – Labyrinth in San Diego on October 29 as a prelude to its debut in Carnegie Hall on November 7. It was just this past summer that Alisa first performed all six parts of the project in one place, at Spoleto Festival USA. In its overview of the festival, Classical Voice North America declared Weilerstein’s performances to collectively be “the most awesome classical-music event this season,” calling them “a creation you literally had to see.”

Alisa opens the season with Atlanta Sympony, where she plays the Elgar Cello Concerto with Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann on October 3–5, and she plays the Britten Cello Symphony with Alan Gilbert leading the Staatskapelle Berlin on November 24.
