Shining a light on some incredible concerts coming up in our spring season, our series of
#SpringSpotlights celebrates a performance we can’t wait to share with you!
A rare chance to hear the Chinese-Australian star cellist up close, performing some of the greatest chamber works ever written for the cello. “A superbly stylish, raptly intuitive performer” (Gramophone), Li-Wei Qin has twice been a soloist at the BBC Proms and has enjoyed artistic collaborations with many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras.
For his Sheffield debut, Li-Wei performs the last and perhaps finest of Beethoven’s cello sonatas; this is an opportunity to hear the much-decorated musician (Silver Medal, International Tchaikovsky Competition; First Prize, International Naumburg Competition) return to a work he has recorded for Decca to great acclaim. Brahms’s song-like and soulful Sonata is also among the highlights, in what promises to be an evening of stirring emotions and musicality of the highest order.
This concert will be recorded by BBC Radio 3 for future broadcast.
