A special event, the HB Cello Virtuosi, featuring seven of the School’s remarkable cello faculty, has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 9, at 7 p.m. in the School’s Auditorium. Participating faculty members Michael Finckel, Adam Grabois, Nicole Johnson, Erich Schoen-René, Peter Seidenberg and Frederick Zlotkin will perform an all-Beethoven recital. The arc of Beethoven’s works for cello and piano neatly follows the evolution of music from the classical in to the late romantic period with his earliest works written in a "Mozartean" style and the latter being much more experimental and romantic.
