KRISTIN VON DER GOLTZ & ENSEMBLE

Now the artist and her instrument take center stage: In her solo debut, von der Goltz traces the history of the cello from its origins in Italy to its emergence as a solo instrument—a process that began long before Bach’s famous cello suites.

Cast:

• Kristin von der Goltz, Baroque cello
• Daniel Rosin, Baroque cello (continuo)
• Thomas Boysen, lute
• Andreas Küppers, harpsichord
