Cellist Sterling Elliott and pianist Elliot Wuu present their debut recital at Davies Symphony Hall as part of the Shenson Spotlight Series. J.S. Bach’s Suite No. 6 for unaccompanied cello opens the program with jubilant glee and brilliant optimism. Listen for long and embellished melodies, leaping dances, and the lilting drone of a French bagpipe. Then, Felix Mendelssohn’s Cello Sonata No. 2 takes inspiration from Bach, mingling romantic colors and melodies with Baroque elegance.
