Next Concert - Cellobration

Saturday 2 June, Gotische Zaal, Raad van State, The Hague, 14:30

In the next NDA concert, held in the beautiful surroundings of the Raad van State, NDA Baroque Cellist Caroline Kang will perform selections from Bach's Cello Suites on a newly restored, early 18th century, large-model cello. Made in southern Germany, the instrument is exactly the kind of instrument Bach would have known and is one of the few of its kind to have survived in original condition. During the last year and a half, Caroline has worked with expert restorers to bring the instrument to life. She presents it for the first time in this special recital. In the programme, alongside the Bach Suites, Caroline will also perform sonatas by G.P. Telemann and Bach son, Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach. Tickets at the door €27,50 / €22,50, Youths/Students €7,50
