The Lonely & Broken Cellist: Music for Unaccompanied Cello from and inspired by the Baroque

Join cellist Nathan Whittaker in a program of music from G.B. Degli Antonii, Britten, Tavener, Walton, and J.S. Bach as he traces the cello’s rise to prominence in the twentieth century, when composers, propelled by a new generation of cellists, searched for models to showcase this instrument and found shining examples in the Baroque. Follow Whittaker as he crosses, on three different cellos, a unique bridge to the past, constructed with forms like the fugue, passacaglia, and ciaccona, and styles of declamation, chant, or stile brisé.

Tickets: $20 general, $15 seniors, $10 Students and NUUC members, available online, by phone, or at the door on the evening of the performances.

Free parking in the church parking lot.
