The extraordinary cellist interweaves new works with Bach’s contemplative and challenging Fourth Cello Suite in this performance from her commissioning series.
In the cellist’s ambitious series FRAGMENTS, new music by some of today’s most compelling composers meets the timeless beauty of Bach’s Cello Suites, each within its own theatrical setting.
Amongst individual movements of Bach’s Cello Suite No.4 in E flat, this performance interweaves new works by Courtney Bryan, Gabriel Kahane, Missy Mazzoli, Matthias Pintscher and Paul Wiancko.
FRAGMENTS, Alisa Weilerstein’s multi-year commissioning project, is a collection of six different performances in total, curated by Weilerstein and underscored with bespoke lighting, scenic architecture and costume design from a world-class team of creatives.
Featuring 27 different composers in total, each of the six FRAGMENTS performances embodies its own striking identity that transforms the six Bach Cello suites in turn.
Alisa Weilerstein is one of the foremost cellists of our time. Known for her consummate artistry, emotional investment and rare interpretive depth, she was recognised with a MacArthur ‘genius grant’ fellowship in 2011. Today her career is truly global in scope.
Weilerstein is a Southbank Centre Resident Artist for Classical Music: Spring/Summer 2026.
