Santiago
Canon Valencia
Violoncello
Our first concert for the year features the brilliant cellist Santiago Canon Valencia who in 2010 won the top prize in the International Beijing Cello Competition. He will play the exciting and dramatic first concerto by Shostakovich. Nino Rota is well known for his film music (the Godfather and films by Felini) but also wrote music for the concert hall. Mozart’s 39th symphony is one of his most well known with its majestic introduction and interplay between the winds and strings.
