Cellist: Sophie Webber

Add to my Calendar 23-11-2018 13:05 23-11-2018 15:05 36 Trinity Laban Lunchtime Concert Series: Escape UK CD Release British, California-based cellist, Sophie Webber, gives a free UK CD release concert for her 2018 acclaimed debut album, Escape: Bach's Six Suites for Solo Cello. The concert is kindly hosted by Sophie's alma mater, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.  "In Webber’s case it’s as if she were playing in an intimate setting, perhaps for someone special, in which every note has meaning rather as a look or a touch does; the resulting conversations she has with the music are endlessly absorbing... Her subjective narrative suggests the freedom with which Pablo Casals brought the music back to life a century ago."  ~Laurence Vittes | GRAMOPHONE JUNE 2018 (Escape CD Review) "an exceptional and creative musician"    ~Maureen Buja |  INTERLUDE Classical Music Magazine For more information about Sophie and her recent/upcoming performances, please visit www.sophiewebber.com The Chapel - Old Royal Naval College, London DD/MM/YYYY
