SF Performances Presents: Tamsin Waley-Cohen, violin, James Baillieu, piano

Presented by San Francisco Performances

Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen's "interpretation is technically beyond reproach and musically imaginative..." (Gramophone). The Guardian hails pianist James Baillieu as "exceptional... knowing both when to hold back...and when to assert himself and propel the music forward." The two present a program of works by CPE Bach, Schubert, and Schumann. 

 

Born in London, Tamsin Waley-Cohen enjoys an adventurous and varied career. In addition to concerts with the Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Halle, Liverpool Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony, Royal Northern Sinfonia and BBC orchestras, amongst others, she has twice been associate artist with the Orchestra of the Swan and works with conductors including Andrew Litton, Vasily Petrenko, Ben Gernon, Ryan Bancroft and Tamas Vasary.

 

Described by The Daily Telegraph as "in a class of his own," James Baillieu is one of the leading song and chamber music pianists of his generation.  He has given solo and chamber recitals throughout the world and collaborates with a wide range of singers and instrumentalists including Benjamin Appl, Jamie Barton, Ian Bostridge, Allan Clayton, Annette Dasch, Lise Davidsen, the Elias and Heath Quartets, Dame Kiri te Kanawa, Adam Walker, and Pretty Yende.  As a soloist, he has appeared with the Ulster Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, and the Wiener Kammersymphonie.
