Cello recital

Tim Lowe (cello)
Katya Apekisheva (piano)

We welcome back Tim and Katya to open the 2026 festival with three pieces that are core to the cello repertoire; all of them tuneful and none more so than Chopin’s most important chamber music work. Charm and elegance are the watchwords for Mendelssohn’s music – age 17 already possessing an inner vision and melodic invention that show him to be a real poet. Martinů’s Variations are a light-hearted, virtuoso showpiece.

Mendelssohn Variations concertantes for cello and piano, Op. 17

Chopin Sonata for Cello and Piano in G minor, Op.65

Martinů ‘Variations on a Theme by Rossini’ for Cello and Piano
