Classical music lovers are in for a treat next month, as the Belgium Cello Society (BCS) is holding its second recital of the season on 1 October. With another impressive line-up featuring renowned French cellist Bruno Delepelaire and pianist Kim Barbier, this is not one to miss.
Bruno Delepelaire has been principal cellist of the prestigious Berliner Philharmoniker orchestra since 2013, and has captivated audiences across the world with his impressive technique and flair. Delepelaire brings a refined artistry to every performance, and has been praised for his "clarity and fire" by Der Tagesspiegel and described as playing "beautifully enough to make you cry" by Berliner Morgenpost.
He will be joined by acclaimed pianist Kim Barbier, according to a press release. Barbier is known for her international solo career and collaborating with leading artists such as Argentine cellist Sol Gabetta, Swiss flautist Emmanuel Pahud, and French oboist and conductor François Leleux. Barbier has also featured on major labels and her music has been broadcast across Europe and Asia.
