Robert Een

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

Since coming onto the music scene in 1990, Robert Een has made a name for himself as an artistically adventurous musician. The cellist, vocalist and composer has written pieces for theater, dance and film, he recently staged an opera, and he’s known to combine instruments and techniques from eastern, western, traditional and contemporary styles. Tonight we hear a selection from the catalog of this creative chameleon. Also, music from Bach and a piece by Pablo Casals, the first modern cello virtuoso.
