2024 marks the final year of British pianist KATHRYN STOTT’s storied career as an illustrious professional performer, which has included solo performances and countless collaborations, with the cello in particular, most famously with Yo-Yo Ma for the past four decades. Altenburg Arts is privileged to present Stott during her farewell tour. For Singapore, she partners with renowned Chinese Australian cellist QIN LI-WEI, hailed by Gramophone as a “superbly stylish, raptly intuitive performer” and one of the most sought-after cellists of his generation. The incumbent professor of cello at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music has once been described as being “the closest thing this nation has to the likes of Yo-Yo Ma living and playing on campus” (The Straits Times).
Performing as a professional duo in Singapore for the very last time, Qin and Stott will play an ambitious, substantial programme comprising music by Schumann and Kodály, and the cello sonatas of Brahms and Rachmaninov.
