A focused, intimate encounter with some of the most enduring solo cello music ever written.
Why see this show?
All the Bach Cello Suite Preludes and Gigues in one lunchtime, in a church — this is the kind of Fringe programme that reminds you the festival is far broader than comedy and theatre. St Cuthbert's Church is a beautiful space for acoustic cello.
