April 28, 2024 Schubert contra BeethovenList Item 2
Praised for her “playing at a level of deep-seated feeling,” internationally acclaimed Tanya Tomkins, who was one of the principal violoncellists of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra for many years, makes her only Seattle appearance this season playing with Tamara Friedman on her richly toned replica of an 1804 Nannette Streicher early Romantic grand piano. This dynamic duo will take you on a musical journey through J. S. Bach’s Suite No. 1 in G major for Solo Cello, BWV 1007, Beethoven’s magisterial Cello Sonata in A major, op. 69, and Schubert’s seldom-heard masterpiece, the Arpeggione Sonata in D minor, D. 821. A unique, “must-hear” concert!
