‘Benjamin Kruithof - ECHO Rising Star’

16 Mar.'25
- 11:00

Concert Croissant #10

Discover an exceptional young cellist and a key figure in the history of music. In his recital with pianist Marco Sanna, Benjamin Kruithof plunges you into the musical world of Nadia Boulanger. A child prodigy, instrumentalist, conductor, composer and teacher, the Frenchwoman is famous for having trained a host of legendary musicians including Copland, Quincy Jones, Philip Glass and Daniel Barenboim. Here, her Three Pieces for Cello and Piano rub shoulders with works by her master and friend Gabriel Fauré, Igor Stravinsky, whose musical modernity she championed, and Astor Piazzola, whom she encouraged to rediscover his musical nature, the Argentine tango. Also on the programme: the Belgian premiere of a new work by British composer Sally Beamish, written especially for Benjamin Kruithof.   

Rising Stars is a project of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO). Benjamin Kruithof has been nominated by the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Philharmonie Luxembourg.
