Event Details

Fresh from presenting recitals in the USA, Geoffrey will perform a special solo recital to celebrate Roseville Music Club's 80th birthday year.

The program includes Damien Ricketson’s exhilarating Imagining Le Verrier (a work especially written for Gartner) as well as a rarely performed virtuosic tour-de-force: the Sonata for Solo Cello by Eugène Ysaÿe.  The recital concludes with one of J.S. Bach’s most joyous utterances, his Suite III in C Major for unaccompanied cello.

Program:

J.S. BACH - Prélude from Suite V in C minor for unaccompanied cello BWV 1011
Damien RICKETSON - Imagining Le Verrier (2001)
Ross EDWARDS - Water Spirit Song (2003)
Eugène YSAŸE - Sonata for Solo Cello, Op.28
J.S. BACH - Suite III in C major for unaccompanied cello BWV 1009

Featured non-Australian music: Eugène Ysaÿe, J.S. Bach
