Rise and shine to experience the sensational talent of two up-and-coming chamber music superstars! Leland Ko, First Prize winner of the prestigious 2024 Naumburg International Cello Competition, offers one of Bach’s most famous and beloved works for solo cello alongside a contemporary take on Chinese folk songs. Hailed by CBC Music as one of the “Top 30 Hot Canadian Classical Musicians Under 30”, Jacques Forestier then takes center stage with two works of breathtaking virtuosity. The two then join forces for Kodály’s Duo for Violin and Cello, an electrifying adventure in Hungarian folk music filled with Magyar-style dances and intensely heartfelt lyricism.
