Alisa Weilerstein heads to Munich to premiere Thomas Larcher’s cello concerto, returning into darkness, with the Bavarian Symphony Radio Orchestra (BSRO) conducted by Alan Gilbert (June 5, 6). Larcher, whose music has been praised as “one of this century’s wonders” (The Times, UK), composed the work for Alisa, who gave the premiere this past March with the co-commissioning New York Philharmonic.
This December, Alisa Weilerstein joins the London Symphony Orchestra and François-Xavier Roth for her final performance of 2019 to perform Elgar’s lyrical and passionate Cello Concerto.
In a performance that marks 100 years since the concerto’s premiere with the LSO, on December 19, Alisa spotlights the work with the orchestra at the Barbican Hall.
The evening also hears the world premiere of Sophya Polevaya’s Spellbound Tableaux, along with Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin.
This winter, Alisa Weilerstein performs the complete Bach cello suites at the Palau de la Música Catalana.
The Barcelona performance takes place at the foundation’s Concert Hall on December 12.
