Anastasia Kobekina has long progressed from promising rising star to one of the leading cellists of our time. No wonder: Her masterful technique and exceptional musical instinct result in remarkably mature and authentic interpretations. She loves to push boundaries and explore the versatility of her instrument. Her concert revolves around the first three of Bach’s six cello suites. With their vigorous rhythms and complex melodies, these suites remain among the most remarkable solo cello works to this day. They are woven into a programme ranging from an adaptation of a hypnotic vocal piece by Hildegard von Bingen to a fiery composition by her father and a virtuoso arrangement of Boccherini’s famous »Fandango« from his Guitar Quintet No. 4. This original musical kaleidoscope sees Anastasia Kobekina take the audience on a journey to musical worlds full of depth and surprises in Schnitger’s baptismal church.
