The @academyofstmartininthefields join American cellist Gary Hoffman at London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields before we embark on a tour of the USA. In a celebration of the Romantic era, Hoffman takes centre stage in Schumann’s Cello Concerto - a piece that spent decades in the shadows and one that was never publicly performed in Schumann’s lifetime.
“GARY HOFFMAN’S STYLE IS CHARACTERISED BY FULLNESS OF SOUND, INSTRUMENTAL MASTERY AND EXCEPTIONAL ARTISTIC SENSIBILITY”
Making his musical debut at the Wigmore Hall in London at the age of fifteen, quickly followed by New York, Gary became the youngest faculty appointee in the history of the Indiana University School of Music at the age of twenty-two. After winning the Premier Grand Prix of the Rostropovich International Competition in Paris in 1986, he embarked on an international career, appearing with the world’s most noted orchestras, in major recital and chamber music series and at prestigious festivals.
