The Eureka Chamber Music Series opens their new concert season with two superb programs from cellist Gary Hoffman, who made his phenomenal debut performance on the series last fall. The Canadian-born, American cellist lives in Paris, teaches cello performance at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, and serves as master-in-residence for cello at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Brussels, Belgium. Combining instrumental mastery, great beauty of sound, and a poetic sensibility, Hoffman will play a Mainstage Concert featuring major works for cello by Gabriel Fauré, Johannes Brahms, and Antonín Dvořák.
