Cellist Julian Schwarz in Recital, hosted by Ryan Murray
MODESTO, CA - The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will present a virtual recital featuring cellist Julian Schwarz with pianist Marika Bournaki and hosted by Associate Conductor Ryan Murray on Wednesday, October 21 at 7:00 pm. The virtual performance will feature a variety of works for cello by Beethoven, Brahms, Korngold and more.
“October usually marks the start of our Classics series, so we wanted to bring a guest artist to our virtual MSO at Home series,” said Caroline Nickel, President and CEO of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. “Julian Schwarz is a fantastic cellist and he performed with the MSO back in 2014. We’re so excited to have him perform in recital for our community and we can’t wait to see him again!”
This will be the MSO’s fourth free virtual event in its MSO at Home series. This recital will be shown live on the MSO’s YouTube channel. Recordings of this event and other past events are available to watch at ModestoSymphony.org. The MSO’s virtual events are free of charge to help bring music to everyone in the community.
The MSO’s Conductor’s Circle donors are invited to a virtual Post-Concert Reception following Julian Schwarz’s recital. For more information on the reception, please contact Carole Richard, Director of Development at crichard@modestosymphony.org or 209-523-4156 x107.
