ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms at Dewsbury

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2023

Music by Rachmaninov, Dora PejačeviΔ‡ and Lara Weaver performed by Laura van der Heijden and JΓ’ms Coleman live from Dewsbury as part of the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms.

Former ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Young Musician of the Year Laura van der Heijden and pianist JΓ’ms 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 PejačeviΔ‡ 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.
