The concert will feature the two 18th-century cello concertos by A. Vandini and N. Fiorenza, rarely performed works for solo cello, arias for soprano and cello obbligato, and the world premiere of “Chimera” by Ken Ueno.

Fascinated by the cello’s origins and the creative process of new music, Elinor Frey plays both period and modern instruments. Her recent release on the Belgian label Passacaille, "Berlin Sonatas" with Lorenzo Ghielmi on fortepiano, was nominated for a Juno award for Best Classical CD, Solo & Chamber Music and won the 2015 Québec Opus Prize for Early Music CD of the year. Her first Baroque CD, "La voce del violoncello," was praised for its “careful scholarship and brilliant layering of moods and tempos” (Toronto Star) and for the “honest, reflective beauty of her music making” (Strings). In May 2017, she released "Fiorè." the world premiere recording of the sonatas of Angelo Maria Fiorè and various unknown Italian arias the, performed alongside Lorenzo Ghielmi and Suzie LeBlanc. Frey holds degrees from McGill, Mannes, and Juilliard.
The concert is part of Elinor Frey’s residency at the Butler School of Music.
