The Vancouver Sun writes that cellist Ariel Barnes’ “luscious tone and technical prowess marks him as a musician of real stature.”

With his ability to reach deep into his listeners’ souls, he’s a perfect match for Benjamin Britten’s Cello Suites. At once darkly passionate and emotionally restrained, Britten’s three suites for solo cello are cornerstones of 20th-Century music.

One of this season’s “must-hear” events.
