The concert program will feature five works:

  • Beethoven's Sonata for Cello and Piano in F major, Op. 5 #1;

  • Beethoven's Sonata for Cello and Piano in A major, Op. 69;

Li-Wei has established a formidable reputation on the international concert scene and is well known for his brilliant virtuosity, refined musicality and sincerity of interpretation. He has won several prestigious awards including the 2001 Naumburg Competition, silver medal at the 11th Tchaikovsky International Competition, and an invitation onto the BBC New generation Artists Scheme.

'Li-Wei is the most gifted young cellist I have heard. Aside from an extraordinary technical fluency, he has a musical intelligence and sensitivity which is breathtaking both for its maturity and profound vision'. The New York Times

"I am truly excited to be working with this extraordinary colleague," Kathy Selby says. "Li-Wei is an artist of enormous breadth and we are so looking forward in particular to presenting the Beethoven Sonatas, for which we both have a particular fondness, and the incredibly beautiful Schumann Adagio and Allegro."
