Schumann's Cello Concerto was composed in a white-hot flash of inspiration, yet it contains moments of utter tranquility that cellists hold as their greatest treasure. Anthony Ross brings it all to life—a perfect chance for you to hear the soaring solo talent of the Orchestra's principal cellist. For his Orchestra debut, Stefan Sanderling has chosen a dramatic Russian-German program that reveals the rich heritage of his musically prominent family.
