British cellist Steven Isserlis makes a rare solo visit to Toronto on Friday at Koerner Hall.
He’s performing a great program that features a new commission from Thomas Adès. You can check all the details and ticket info here.
Here’s a little Schumann slice of Isserlis’ intense art, in case you need an introduction:
Isserlis is being accompanied by Canadian pianist Connie Shih, who is a treat in and of herself.
