Meira’s In Memoriam for Solo Cello Performed by Valerie Chen

Meira’s In Memoriam for solo cello will be performed on Friday, April 10 at 5pm by Valerie Chen at MIT’s Killian Hall, 160 Memorial Dr. in Cambridge, MA, as part of her alone solo cello recital for the school’s Emerson/Harris Fellowship program.

She says this about the event. “”alone” is a fully solo cello recital exploring the duality of human connection and isolation. It adapts the dramatic arc from the genre of tragedy, guiding listeners through various facets of solitude toward catharsis and peace. In four acts, the program weaves together works from disparate eras, styles, and traditions, suggesting that even when seemingly alone—and amid the turbulence of an ever-changing world—we remain bound together by shared human experience.”

This program will be free and open to the public. More event info at https://calendar.mit.edu/event/valerie-chen-g-cello.
