Praised by The New York Times for having “traversed the palette of emotions” with “gorgeous tone and an edge-of-seat intensity,” Spanish-born cellist/composer Andrea Casarrubios brings her talents to UNCSA for a recital featuring a multifaceted program.
It includes her most well-known composition, “SEVEN” for solo cello, commissioned by Thomas Mesa and premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2021. It’s "an intense and elegiac tribute to the essential workers during the pandemic," said The New York Times. Performing and composing both have important places in her schedule, but she says that “composing is the one thing I do in life that is 100 percent who I am; I love the feeling of an empty score, a blank book. I love imagining all the possibilities while discovering a new work. … I just have to listen closely.” Andrea Casarrubios is accompanied by faculty artist Allison Gagnon on piano.
