All-Cello Orchestra: Pablo Casals 150

Eugene Friesen, conductor 

The cello speaks—perhaps more than any other orchestral instrument—in a way that feels human. Its range overlaps with the human voice, players share space with and embrace their instrument, and its warm, resonant sound expresses bittersweet emotions—longing, melancholy, grief—with authenticity and weight. Conducted by Eugene Friesen, the orchestra honors the 150th birthday of cellist and humanitarian Pablo Casals with arrangements of works by Casals, Villa-Lobos, and other beloved favorites
