Jean-Guihen Queyras, cello, with Alexandre Tharaud, piano

About this event

The celebrated French-Canadian cellist and French pianist reunite for an afternoon of refined artistry, performing works by Brahms, Debussy, Schubert, and others. Jean-Guihen Queyras learnt his interpretative approach from none other than Pierre Boulez, with whom his artistic partnership spanned many years. A flawless technique and a clear, decisive sound shapes his approach to every performance and his absolute commitment to the music itself. In a career spanning 25 years, Alexandre Tharaud has become a unique figure in the classical music world and a key exponent of French pianism. His extraordinary repertoire ranges from Couperin, Bach, and Scarlatti, through Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Brahms, and Rachmaninov, to the major 20th century French composers.
