This concert is in place of German violinist Julia Fischer.
Pieter Wispelwey is among the first of a generation of performers who are equally at ease on the modern or the period cello. His acute stylistic awareness, combined with a truly original interpretation and a phenomenal technical mastery, has won the hearts of critics and public alike in repertoire ranging from J.S. Bach to Elliott Carter. Born in Haarlem, Netherlands, Wispelwey’s sophisticated musical personality is rooted in the training he received: from early years with Dicky Boeke and Anner Bylsma in Amsterdam to Paul Katz in the US and William Pleeth in Great Britain. In 1992 he became the first cellist ever to receive the Netherlands Music Prize, which is awarded to the most promising young musician in the Netherlands.

Program: J. S. Bach, Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007; Britten, Suite No. 1, Op. 72; J. S. Bach, Suite No. 2 in d minor, BWV 1008; Britten, Suite No. 3, Op. 87.
