5 February 2022 - The Momentary
Arlen Hlusko

Hailed for her “sublime cello prowess” (Take Effect), “absorbing originality” (Gramophone), and “mesmerizing beauty” (NY Music Daily), internationally acclaimed Canadian cellist Arlen Hlusko presents an evening of miniatures, both new and familiar. Inspired by the recent pandemic lockdown, Hlusko leads us through a program of solo cello works, most of which were written in isolation and are centered around the themes of loss, hope, and community.J.S. Bach – Suite No 1 in G major, BWV 1007 (1717-23)
