Gabriel Cabezas‘ first return to Music Matters once more features this compelling cellist in solo repertoire. He is a persuasive, deeply committed voyager through rewarding soundscapes of our time, an irrepressibly collaborative musician we are fortunate indeed to hear on his own. He’ll interweave a sumptuous 17th-c. chaconne for bass instrument and Bach’s haunting 2nd solo suite among a rich-hued tapestry of engaging, highly individualistic pieces of our time. Solo cello resounding on our performance platform, in La Grua’s remarkable acoustic, is a memorable experience – join us?

Gabriel Cabezas’ solo recital lasts just over an hour, with no intermission.
