Robert Cohen Cello Masterclass

An afternoon masterclass with cellist Robert Cohen.
During forty years of his distinguished international career, Cohen has been hailed as one of the foremost cellists of our time. “It is easy to hear what the fuss is about, he plays like a God” (New York Stereo Review), “A virtuoso of genius” (Nurnberg Nachrichten), “Robert Cohen is a divinely gifted cellist. Cohen is one of the few musicians, whose every tone speaks to people” (Keskisuomalainen, Finland).
His musical education was also exceptional; early studies with William Pleeth, followed by Jacqueline du Pré, André Navarra and Mistislav Rostropovich.
Cohen is in great demand as a teacher. He has given masterclasses at Conservatoires throughout the world. His passionate views on the art of learning, performing and communicating music have been widely published. From 2000-2012 Cohen was Professor of Advanced Solo Studies at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, and in 2010 became Professor at the Royal Academy of Music, London. The Cohen Music Lectures were launched at the Royal Academy of Music in 2014.
The concert is free to attend but donations to a retiring collection will be gratefully received.
