Utah Symphony cellist Matthew Johnson performs Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1, a work presumed lost until it was rediscovered in 1961 and now considered one of the greatest works for cello of the Classical era.
Also on this program are JUNO Award-winning composer Vivian Fung’s String Sinfonietta (2008), where you’ll hear influences from Chinese and Indonesian music, and British-born composer Anna Clyne’s Within Her Arms (2009), a “meditation on loss, love, and life” (The Arts Desk) that was dedicated to the composer’s late mother.
