Intimate Sounds

Cello on Fire

Shauna Rolston, cello and Heather Schmidt, piano
NEW ARTIST: Saturday, November 25 - 7:30 p.m.
Algoma University Auditorium

SOLD OUT

It’s not every day that you get to witness a classical music collaboration of this magnitude. Pianist and composer Heather Schmidt and cellist Shauna Rolston come together for an extraordinary duo recital of classical and contemporary cello and piano works.

Schmidt began piano lessons at age four, began composing at the age of five, and made her first public appearance at the age of six. Rolston was playing cello at two. At 16 she was performing her debut at Town Hall in New York City. Though both hail from Alberta (Schmidt from Calgary and Rolston from Banff) it wasn’t until 1998 that they finally crossed paths.

Their collaboration began when Schmidt was commissioned to write a cello concerto for Rolston to perform with the CBC Vancouver Orchestra and has evolved into this remarkable duo.
