Cello Concerto

0 upcoming performances in New York

Antonín Dvořák’s *Cello Concerto* in B minor, written in the mid-1890s near the end of his American years, stands as his final work for soloist and orchestra in the genre. The piece gives the cello a full narrative role, moving between private reflection and public, symphonic argument; its long lines test a player’s stamina as much as their tone. Heard at David Geffen Hall with Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Elim Chan, and the New York Philharmonic, it sits in New York’s concert life as a touchstone rather than a novelty. One clear virtue is its balance: the orchestra is not accompaniment but an equal partner.
