(WASHINGTON) — In April, the Fortas Chamber Music Concerts presents Steven Isserlis
and Richard Egarr on April 23, 2018, in the Terrace Theater. Tickets are $45.
British cellist Steven Isserlis and harpsichordist Richard Egarr perform together in the
Kennedy Center’s recently renovated Terrace Theater. This intimate, versatile space sets
the mood for the Baroque program complete with hand-crafted, curved wood paneling
invoking Isserlis’s authentic gut-string cello.
Isserlis is acclaimed worldwide for his profound musicianship and technical mastery,
enjoying a unique and distinguished career as a soloist, chamber musician, educator,
author, and broadcaster. He is the recipient of multiple awards and is one of only two living
cellists featured in the Gramophone Hall of Fame. Isserlis and Egarr will come together
again on April 23 after their successful 2015 album Bach, Handel & Scarlatti: Gamba
Sonatas.
