Haydn, Kodály, and an English Sorbet

“I’m so excited to be sharing this brilliant program with you!

I aim to form a fresh take on the elegance of Haydn’s Cello Concerto in D major. “An Idyll” by Sullivan and “Salut d’amour” by Elgar offers a warm contrast of tender lyricism, sincerity and reflection. The program concludes with the monumental “Solo Cello Sonata” by Kodály. As one of the most significant solo cello pieces written, it draws inspiration from Hungarian folk music and pushes the cello to its expressive and technical limits.” — Max Wung
