Alisa Weilerstein: Fragments – Wonder
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]In the cellist’s groundbreaking series FRAGMENTS, new music by some of today’s most compelling composers meets the timeless beauty of Bach’s Cello Suites.
This performance interweaves individual movements of the Bach Suites with new works by Allison Loggins-Hull, Reinaldo Moya, Gili Schwarzman, Joan Tower and Chen Yi.
This is the first of two performances in one day from FRAGMENTS, Alisa Weilerstein’s groundbreaking multi-year commissioning project responding to Bach’s Six Suites for solo cello.
The result is a collection of six different FRAGMENTS performances in total, curated by Weilerstein and underscored with bespoke lighting, scenic architecture and costume design from a world-class team of creatives.
Across the six performances, new commissions by 27 different composers are combined with movements from the Bach Suites.
Each of the six FRAGMENTS performances embodies its own striking identity that transforms the Bach Cello suites in turn.
Alisa Weilerstein is one of the foremost cellists of our time. Known for her consummate artistry, emotional investment and rare interpretive depth, she was recognized with a MacArthur ‘genius grant’ fellowship in 2011. Today her career is truly global in scope.
