Known for her “stylistic sensitivity, verve and spontaneous delight in discovery” (The Guardian), Weilerstein introduced her major new multisensory performance series, “FRAGMENTS,” last season in Toronto, Southern California, Carnegie Hall, Cleveland, and Tanglewood. The series weaves together the 36 movements of Bach’s solo cello suites with 27 new commissions to make six unique programs, each an hour long, for solo cello.
Weilerstein begins the Winter season making music with her husband, Venezuelan conductor Rafael Payare, where she will perform Barber’s Cello Concerto with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic (Jan 31 & Feb 1). Soon thereafter she gives three performances of Haydn’s Concerto in C with the Boston Symphony led byKarina Canellakis (Feb 8–10).
She is then going on tour in Florida performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the Detroit Symphony and Music Director Jader Bignamini, with performances inGainesville (Feb 13), Miami (Feb 15), West Palm Beach (Feb 17-18), Sarasota(Feb 19), and Vero Beach (Feb 20).
