New cello concertos by Matthias Pintscher and Liza Lim 

Matthias Pintscher leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra in his own dark and lyrical cello concerto Un Despertar – an awakening, which he composed in 2017 for Alisa Weilerstein.

Liza Lim creates a new concerto co-commissioned by the Cello Biennale for Nicolas Altstaedt. The second movement of Dutilleux’s composition is one big solo for the cello section of the orchestra.

This concert will be broadcast live by NTR on NPO Klassiek
