25.11.25, 20:00, Benjamin Kruithof, Bach's cello suites
Some compositions seem timeless. This is certainly true of J.S. Bach's six Suites for Solo Cello. Written in the first quarter of the 18th century, they have lost none of their charm 300 years later. Rediscovered by Pablo Casals in the early 20th century, the Suites are now part of the standard cello repertoire. Rising Star (European Concert Hall Organisation) and Young Artist of the Year (International Classical Music Awards 2025) Benjamin Kruithof brings his fresh interpretation to the piece. This Luxembourg cello talent has literally played his way into the spotlight as a soloist and in various chamber music ensembles. In 2022, he won first prize at the George Enescu International Competition. In 2025, he will tour Europe's most beautiful concert halls, with our beautiful MIRY as a stopover tonight.
