Former 鶹Լ Young Musician of the Year Laura van der Heijden and pianist Jâms Coleman present a programme of 20th- and 21st-century music for cello and piano. Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata is a work suffused with the mystical spirit of Russian Orthodoxy. That spiritual journey in sound becomes a spatial one in Lara Weaver’s A Thing That Holds – an exploration of the cello as a vessel that contains and releases. This season’s spotlight on Croatian composer Dora Pejačević continues with the composer’s Cello Sonata, with echoes of Brahms and Mendelssohn running through its melody-filled movements. The concert opens with Rachmaninov’s lyrical Vocalise.
