Israeli-born American cellist Maya Beiser continues to invigorate the contemporary music scene with impassioned interpretations of new and classic works. Performing pieces by composers as wide-ranging as Steve Reich, J. S. Bach, and Glenn Kotche, Beiser summons blossoming melodies, angular, aggressive rhythms and weeping gestures of sorrow. Her readings of works by Arvo Pärt are downright meditative, proving that her cello is not just a musical instrument, but a kaleidoscopic tool of reflection.
