Enjoy a rare chance to experience the resonant and atmospheric setting of a cello ensemble in this unique concert directed from the cello by 番茄直播app professor Gemma Rosefield.

Arvo P盲rt鈥檚 meditative masterpiece Fratres has been used in numerous films and documentaries, offering frantic activity paired with haunting stillness, and exemplifies the composer鈥檚 tintinnabuli (鈥榳ithout fixed instrumentation鈥�) technique.

Meanwhile, Villa-Lobos blends Brazilian folk rhythms with the elegance of Bach in Bachianas Brasileiras no 5, one of the composer鈥檚 best-known pieces. Listen out for moments of birdsong representing the Brazilian forest.
