German cellist Gabriel Schwabe will join the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra in the "Schwabe Plays Elgar Cello Concerto" concert in the Main Hall of Thailand Cultural Centre, Ratchadaphisek Road, on Friday at 7.30pm.
Presented by the Royal Bangkok Syphony Orchestra Foundation, the evening programme will feature Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings, one of classical music's most recognisable pieces; Edward Elgar's last notable work, Cello Concerto In E Minor; Leoš Janáček's Lachian Dances; and Zoltán Kodály's Dances Of Galánta. Born in Berlin to German-Spanish parents, Schwabe has been a fast-rising star of his instrument, earning comparisons to such past greats as Emanuel Feuermann.
