Guy Fishman on “The Cello Ascending”
Program: Biscuit Chats
Aired: Sunday, June 16, 2024
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
These days, the cello is one of the star instruments of the orchestra, but that hasn't always been the case. For the 2024 Charlotte Bach Festival, principal cello and Bach Akademie Charlotte artistic leader Guy Fishman has put together a program called "The Cello Ascending." He discusses how the program explores how the cello's role has evolved from mere accompaniment to shining as a virtuoso solo instrument.
