Makiko Tomita Unaccompanied Cello Recital "The Charm of Gut Strings Unofficial

Cellist Makiko Tomita will perform unaccompanied cello works from the Baroque period to the present day, using two cellos with gut strings made by a historical method and a variety of bow configurations. The first half features works by Kühnel and J.S. Bach, while the second half features works by Trubek, Silvestrov, and Sculthorpe, bringing out the full appeal of gut strings with their rich overtones and shadows. The performance, which interacts with the evolved gut strings, captivates the audience with its delicate and wild tone, and is an evening to experience the true value of music that dwells in silence.
