Beethoven, Brahms & Britten

55 Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1 1DA

Description

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.
