About The Artists
At age four, Alisa Weilerstein had chicken pox, so her grandmother (in addition, no doubt, to making chicken soup) fashioned a makeshift instrument from cereal boxes to keep her occupied. That soon gave way to a real instrument, and now the 29-year-old cellist breakfasts with champions of music whenever she wishes. Lest you conclude that she’s done nothing but concertize for the last two and a half decades, consider that she holds a degree in Russian history from Columbia. “If Ms. Weilerstein is precocious,” wrote the Times, “it is in communicating, as many older musicians do not, a distinctive artistic personality.” Israeli-born Inon Barnaton, her pianist in this concert, was praised by London’s Evening Standard as “a true poet of the keyboard: refined, searching, unfailingly communicative.” The pair will communicate their worldly insights into music spanning two centuries.
