French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras “produces a warm, dark tone … It is not high-gloss playing, but its character, power and color make it hard to resist” (The New York Times). Captivating musicianship and compelling expressive integrity will be at the forefront during his PCMS debut recital program with Alexander Melnikov, the highly regarded Russian-born pianist who scored rave reviews in his previous appearance with the Society in concert with violinist Isabelle Faust.
