Ofra Harnoy, Haydn: Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major
Harriet Krijgh conducting The Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra – Live Classical Music Concert HD on November 20, 2020.
Ofra Harnoy is not only one of the greatest cellists on the world’s concert stage, she is a Member of the Order of Canada, has recorded more than 40 solo albums, and was named by Maclean’s as one of 12 Canadians “who bring most credit to their country”.
On our stage, Ofra challenges our musical ears by playing two cellos, created nearly 300 years apart, and looking to see if we can discern which is the 300-year-old multi-million dollar instrument.
