Steven Isserlis brings his intensity to Koerner Hall

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.

Isserlis is being accompanied by Canadian pianist Connie Shih, who is a treat in and of herself.
