CHAMBER MUSIC | OC PRESENTS: THE ART OF THE CELLO

Chamber Music | OC in association with the Claire Trevor School of the Arts presents Los Angeles Philharmonic Principal Cellist Robert deMaine and Trio Céleste pianist Kevin Kwan Loucks in a special season-opening duo recital featuring Sergei Rachmaninoff’s passionate Sonata for Cello and Piano.

Chamber Music | OC opens its highly-anticipated third season with American virtuoso cellist Robert deMaine, one of the finest and most versatile instrumentalists of his generation. DeMaine has appeared on the stages of Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Teatro Colón, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, the Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Konzerthaus, and Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall, among others, and has performed to critical acclaim as soloist, recitalist, orchestral principal, recording artist, and chamber musician – in 2012 he was invited to join the Los Angeles Philharmonic as principal cello. He will be joined by Trio Céleste pianist Kevin Kwan Loucks who has been hailed as “impeccable” (La Presse, Montreal), “a shining talent” (Völser Zeitung, Italy), and a pianist of “exhilarating polish, unity and engagement” (The Orange County Register, California).
