Celebrated guitarist Xuefei Yang joins cellist Johannes Moser ‘one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists’ (Gramophone) for Kings Place’s Master Series, in an intricate sequence of dance and song-based gems.

Natural instrumental partners, exchanging singing lines and delicate accompanying figures, they journey through Renaissance and Baroque works towards Schubert’s scintillating Arpeggione Sonata, originally written for a guitar-like fretted, six-string cello. Yang will showcase some of the finest Chinese works she has brought into the repertoire, while Moser adds haunting solo Bach. They come together for De Falla’s Popular Songs, by turns smouldering and soulful.

This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
