Suite for cello solo
Brilliant young cellist Maxim Calver brings Bach to Selwyn College Chapel in this programme of music for solo cello. These beloved works are complemented by a suite from the twentieth-century Spanish composer and cellist, Gaspar Cassadó, himself a student of the great Pablo Casals.
Calver first gained public recognition as a BBC Young Musician 2018 Grand Finalist and Strings Category winner where he made his concerto debut with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Symphony Hall, Birmingham. Since the competition he has been in high demand as a soloist across the UK and Europe. In October 2021, he made his European concerto debut in the Grosse Saal of the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, where he performed Schumann’s Cello Concerto.
