AST welcomes back Benjamin Pope

The Academy of St Thomas welcomes back two of its favourite performers: cellist Alexander Baillie and conductor Benjamin Pope.

International soloist Alexander Baillie will perform Dvorak’s magnificent Cello Concerto in B minor. Once described as “Britain’s best-kept secret”, he is one of the finest cellists of his generation and was inspired by the late Jacqueline du Pré.

The concert will finish with Brahms’ Second Symphony – with its mellow opening leading to a joyful conclusion.
