Noonday Getaway Concert – Cellist Samuel Magill and Pianist Babette Hierholzer – A Downtown Music Debut!

Downtown Music is delighted to welcome cellist Samuel Magill for his DTMusic debut.  Magill, a member of the Met Orchestra since 1991, was praised by the New York Times for his “…unimpeachable reading” of the Poulenc Cello Sonata.  He has had a rich and varied career as soloist and chamber musician.  His first Naxos CD of the Vernon Duke Cello Concerto was hailed as “flat-out magnificent” by the American Record Guide.  He is joined at the piano by Babette Hierholzer who has appeared as soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic and with renowned conductors Sir Colin Davis, Klaus Tennstedt, Leopold Hager and Semyon Bychkov.  She made her American debut with the Pittsburg Symphony playing the Liszt Concerto No. 1. The all Viennese program will include Joseph Marx, Zemlinsky, and Beethoven.

Join us for this wonderful performance of world class music at beautiful Grace Church!
