Cellist Johannes Moser to present free guest recital at BYU Jan. 30

Guest artist Johannes Moser will perform a cello recital at Brigham Young University Friday, Jan. 31, at 5 p.m. at the Madsen Recital Hall. Moser will also present a master class Thursday, Jan. 30, at the Madsen Recital Hall.

Both events are free and the public is welcome to attend.

The recital will include Bach’s Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007, Suite No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1008 and Suite No. 3 in C major, BWV 1009.

Praised for his rich, gorgeous tone and playing that can range from lovely and elegant, to vigorous with head-banging, rock star energy, German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser has been hailed by Gramophone Magazine as “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists.”

Moser has performed with the world’s leading orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, London Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Munich philharmonic, Tokyo Symphony and Israel Philharmonic. He works regularly with conductors of the highest level including Riccardo Muti, Christian Thielemann, Pierre Boulez, Paavo Jarvi and Semyon Bychkov.
