Bach en Dall'Abaco
Try-Out with Nuala McKennaA glimpse into the process – exploring the depths of the cello
As a newly joined Splendor musician, cellist Nuala McKenna invites you to an intimate try-out concert, offering a behind-the-scenes look at her preparation for two upcoming solo performances.
The program features works by Johann Sebastian Bach alongside music by the lesser-known but captivating Joseph Dall’Abaco – a composer whose cello writing Nuala deeply admires. This is more than just a performance: it’s a chance to hear how an artist prepares, both instrumentally and mentally, and how historical understanding informs musical interpretation.
Experience the unfolding of these solo works up close – an evening of sound, reflection, and discovery.
