Nelson-raised cellist Jeff Faragher is once again returning to Nelson for a special concert. On Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Faragher presents A Cello’s Journey, an evening of fine music for solo cello at St. Saviour’s Pro-Cathedral on Ward Street.
Faragher brings with him a rich and diverse background in performing. This is the first of what he hopes to make many tours throughout the Kootenays.
It is Faragher’s hope to enrich communities in his area by collaborating with local musicians and organizations throughout the Kootenays to present interesting and entertaining musical experiences.
The program will include J.S. Bach’s Solo Suite in C Major, G. Crumb’s Solo Sonata, Bach’s Solo Suite in G Major, G, Cassado’s Solo Suite, M. Summer’s Juli-O, J. Tavener’s Threnos and other selections.
The program will include a presentation interspersed between the pieces. The audience will hear about different elements of the works from their historical significance to the way they have helped shape the cello and its repertoire.
Faragher presents this material in such a way that the audience is drawn into the performance, making it about far more than just the strings and the bow.
Tickets for this event are available at Otter Books or at the door.
