One of the most charismatic cellists of his generation, Leonard Elschenbroich presents an evening of masterpieces from the solo cello repertoire. Performing an intriguing programme of music with which he has a deep affinity, Leonard will interweave his playing with anecdotes and stories of personal connections to the pieces.

Lauded for his gorgeous tone and wonderfully expressive playing, the young German cellist has already been invited to perform with a number of eminent conductors, including Dmitri Kitajenko, Manfred Honeck and Christoph Eschenbach, who praised his “depth, expressivity, charisma and perfection” after a spell-binding duet with Anne-Sophie Mutter. Chosen as a BBC New Generation Artist in 2012, Elschenbroich has won a slew of awards and performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the Albert Hall, the Auditorium du Louvre and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and  has also appeared at festivals throughout the world with artists such as Gidon Kremer, the Sitkovetsky Trio and the Piano Trio he formed with Alexei Grynyuk and Nicola Benedetti. A wonderful evening of music in prospect.
