We are delighted to welcome Roger Low back to the Library, following his sold-out concerts for us in the last two years. The acoustics of the Library simply love the sound of the cello, so Roger playing with Annalisa Orlando on the piano will be simply gorgeous!

Roger Low began studying the cello at a very young age. He holds degrees in music from the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and from the Juilliard School in New York. He has played in numerous ensembles, including the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the Omega Ensemble of New York, the New Haven String Quartet, Musica Ricercata of Florence and the Consonanza Ensemble. From 1984 to 2010 he played as principal cello in the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta.

A chamber musician by vocation, Annalisa Orlando has a vast repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary and enjoys international recognition. In recent years, she has gained considerable experience in chamber duo/ensemble projects, as a member of the Opéra Studio of the Opéra du Rhin in Strasbourg, and as a pianist in the string department of the Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg.

For this year's concert Roger will play Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.
