COLERIDGE-TAYLOR Ballade in A minor ELGAR Cello Concerto in E minor DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 6 in D major One of the most gifted young artists onstage today, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason catapulted to international fame with his performance at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He makes his Cleveland Orchestra debut with Elgar’s rhapsodic Cello Concerto, a meditative, poignant work created in the emotional wake of World War I. Opening the concert is a poignant and emotion-filled work by British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, while the program ends with Dvořák’s effervescent Sixth Symphony, teeming with lyrical invention and foot-tapping rhythms.
