Event 20 - Bowed Bach : Robin Michael

The music of Bach’s cello suites is always fresh after many centuries of existence and here they are brought to life by a musician equally comfortable in repertoire old and new. The two suites surround a recent work by the Welsh composer Huw Watkins. Robin Michael comes from Fife and studied at the Royal Academy of Music. He is principal cellist in Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique, Solo cellist with Orchestre Les Siecles (Paris) as well as regular guest principal cellist with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
