Join us for an expressive duo recital featuring Michael Petrov and Susie Summers in a programme that spans the emotional depth of Beethoven and the sweeping romanticism of Rachmaninov.

Michael plays on a Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume cello dated 1745, kindly loaned by a private individual.

Programme:
Beethoven - Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 5 No. 2
Rachmaninov - Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19

Award-winning cellist Michael Petrov has captivated audiences and critics across Europe and beyond with his “captivating musical temperament and a direct eloquence” (Die Welt), reflecting his commanding presence on the international stage. He is joined by pianist Susie Summers, a prize-winning alumna of the Royal Academy of Music, London, and Cambridge University, who has performed and worked extensively across UK conservatoires and has broadcast on BBC Radio 3, BBC2, BBC4 and ABC Radio Australia.

Instrument Demonstrations:
From 6.30pm ahead of the concert, audiences are invited to explore and hear Brazenose cellos up close. Brazenose violins, violas and cellos, beautiful instruments crafted by skilled luthiers in our European workshop and hand-finished, varnished and set up at Stamford Strings, the home of Brazenose Violins.
