“Last stop before Carnegie Hall”

The story of Andreas Brantelid has been told over and over of late. At 22 he is already one of Scandinavia’s leading cellists, and he has been the object of one recognition after the other. He is a member of the BBC’s New Generation Artist, a member of the prestigious Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society in New York, has been named a Rising Star by the European Concert Hall Organization, and has been rewarded the Crown Prince Couple’s Cultural Award.

He has already played at many important venues, such as the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam; the Musikverein, Vienna; Palais des Beauz Arts, Brussels; the Philharmonie, Cologne. Four days after his performance in the Mogens Dahl Concert Hall he will have his American debut in the Carnegie Hall with the same programme.

At the piano will be Swedish Bengt Forsberg – one of the most highly respected Scandinavian pianists with a world class reputation as an accompanist. Among other things it has resulted in a series of releases at Deutsche Grammophon with mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter.

Welcome to an interesting evening with the young Danish super talent accompanied by Swedish experience!
