The celebrated cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand and acclaimed recitalist Pascal Amoyel will tour across Ireland from March 21-30.
Acclaimed for her technical prowess, ”haunting” lyricism and exquisite tone, Emmanuelle has performed as a soloist with the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, Moscow State Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre Symphonique du Grand Montréal amongst others.
Voted “Solo Instrumental Discovery of the Year” at the Victoires de la Musique in 2005, Pascal Amoyel has established himself as a pianist of note with an impressive career both as a soloist and a chamber musician, appearing with orchestras throughout Europe, America, Russia, Japan and China.
The duo have performed together for many years, garnering widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike and in particular for the “wonderful singing quality” of their playing – the nuanced phrasing of Amoyel the perfect foil for the glowing tones and textures of Bertrand’s cello.
For their Irish tour, Bertrand and Amoyel will perform a programme of Romantic music by Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Liszt, and Brahms, as well as music by Irish composer Kevin Volans.
