Bach Suites for Solo Cello II

For one day only, Philip Hansen, former principal cellist of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, is back in Calgary to present a solo cello recital. 

Mr. Hansen will perform J.S. Bach’s suites for solo cello – among the most emotionally intense pieces in the Baroque repertoire. In this recital, he will perform the suites No. 3, 4, and 5 – the remainder of the Bach Suites after performing No. 1, 2 & 6 in January 2019. Hansen will perform these suites entirely on the Baroque cello. 

Called “a master cellist” by the Calgary Herald, Philip Hansen's intensely personal and colourful playing is showcased in performances from baroque to jazz and in every major work written for solo cello with orchestra. Mr. Hansen has been performing extensively throughout Brazil, where he has been principal cellist of the Orquestra Filarmônica de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte since 2016.

Tickets are $20 (general) and are available online through showpass.com or at the door (cash only).
